It seems that my ZBW Boston Center (CLIPR32/HTO31/SOUTHIE49) feed has been up and down today. This may be because the community where the feed originates from is upgrading/modernizing the cable service into the community. Sorry, can't be sure because I'm not there but if it remains down for any length of time I'll go out there and check it out.

ZBW Boston Center (CLIPR32/HTO31/SOUTHIE49) is up and running again. It looks like it was a bad cable splitter connected to the line coming into the house...

Found out that the ground transmissions from ZBW 134.0 can also be heard from this location so it has been added to the feed. This frequency handles quite a bit of traffic descending into Boston and Hartford (Bradley) from the south. It also handles evening Europe-bound JFK departures that take more northerly tracks over the Atlantic. Enjoy!

I miss the days of living right in the center of the triangle formed by connecting JFK-EWR-LGA. I had close to 400 channels covering Cleveland,New York,Boston,and Washington Centers and the Airports in their airspaces.

Lived right under the Lendy Intersection arrival fix into JFK

I know what you mean...I grew up in Flushing near Francis Lewis Blvd right under the KLGA departure path when they used runway 13. Back then you could hear the engines from the DC9's, 737's and 727's as they rolled down the runway. A minute later they were over my house. You could hear everything on the radio...didn't have programmable scanners back then, just a multiband radio with a tuning knob. You had to hunt for the right frequency hoping you passed the right spot on the dial when an airplane or ATC keyed up. Those were the days...

I remember the days of seeing Peoples Express flying overhead into EWR. Eastern and Pan Am are missed. Yep I remember the days of knobs. Not as busy down here in S. Florida as New York Tracon.

Feed is down due to loss of Internet connection at remote location. Could be related to ongoing upgrade work there. Not sure though.

Feed back up...cable contracter came in a few days ago and installed all new cables in the neighborhood and in each home. It seems they weren't able to figure out that the incoming cable should go to the "IN" port on the splitter...now that I connected it right, all OK now :-)
