The site is taking a hit in bandwidth today, which will likely cost far more than our average month.
Donations are always welcome, however small. If you enjoy the site, please do contribute.
PayPal here:

i will donate some bucks soon :)

Looks like the forum today has more than doubled the record of "Most Online EVER," which if I remember correctly was somewhere around 450 previously.

Money is tight these days, but I'm gladly sending my $20 in beer money. Two things, though:
1. Just curious...what does it cost to run a site like this?
2. After this event in Buffalo, the Press and others will likely come to LiveATC first after any aviation incident in order to pull recordings from the archives. So, this will happen again. I'd hate to see the archives removed or go pay-as-you-go for members, but perhaps you could charge the Press for each download somehow?

It costs a fair bit for the total operation. This includes bandwidth, hardware, and lots of hardware to put up some of the bigger Class B area feeds.
We try to manage with very few donations and advertising. We get bandwidth donations, which help somewhat. And the press has been coming here for a while, so this is not new.
My goal is to not turn it into a "pay" site. But you would be surprised how very few cash donations actually come in. It is a very small number.

Interesting. I wrote out a response and decided to email you, instead. hehe

I just donated $10.

Much appreciated.
-
Sent mine in too. (hint hint to all others)

Hi Dave,
I have bandwidth I can donate. I have a few servers co-located at an ISP in Toronto with spare bandwidth.
Feel free to get in touch if you'd like me to set up a reflector.
-
as promised, my 10 bucks.

Happy to donate! On its way via PayPal...

Thanking all for your donations.

Donation will be coming soon Dave. I will post once done.

How much bandwidth does the site use in an average month?
I have a server colo'd in Indianapolis with a fair amount of available bandwidth that could most likely be put to use mirroring.
-
I thought I'd be able to get a donation in soon but it will be at least another week. How badly are they needed at this time?
Thanks,

Don't worry about it. Any contributions are appreciated at any time. Don't feel pressured.

G'evenng Dave, others -- I just paypalled $50 and want to pose a challenge to others. Soon as I see posted here (after mine) promises to donate another $50 (totalled across however many people), I'll match it with an additional $50 of my own.
I really value this site, the system that Jason and Dave have set up, the efficiency, patience, and good humor they and the other feed-sponsors bring to it, and the postings from all of you. Even Simcoe was a blast. I mean he could have been a lot worse. And several of you guys did a wonderful job of laughing him off into the distance (so far).
Keep it up folks. It's a great site!
Phil
-
Good luck with your challenge! Keep us posted on how it's going.
-
Looks like I jinxed the stream totally so I'm just going to send in the other $50 and hope for the best.

Thanks much for the donation.
I run the SJC feeds - had to get rid of tower due to cable TV interference. Shame because my receivers are practically right next to the field. Hope to find someone local in San Jose to pick up the SJC Tower feed again.

I'm ten miles from SJC. I could feed the tower if you like.

Hello everyone.
Sent $20 via Paypal. Surprised to see that you have a very good feed from Carrasco, Montevideo in Uruguay. Listening to the airport where I used to work many years ago.
Dave, I will check and see if I could setup a feed for IAH in Houston, the only one avaialble have a terrible AC hum on it. Wandering who is running it. I am a communications (radio) tech and could offer free labor to clean up that noise.

$20 on the way. I figured it had been a while since my last donation.
Thank you for continuing to do all the work it takes to support this site: I've been listening since 2005 and continue to love it.

I am totally loving this place. I appreciate it even more now that I'm plane spotting. Instead of bringing a portable scanner, I can listen straight from my phone. Will be sending in something soon. :)
-
Even as a guy who doesn't know squat about flying a plane, I find flying - and this site - fascinating. I know you often hear that the "check is in the mail," but really it is; should arrive by Friday or Saturday. Twenty bucks.
Thanks for a great site!
Jeff

Thanks Jeff and welcome aboard!

Hey Dave,
It's my turn...I just sent $20 :-D
Regards, Ron
-
Thanks, Ron! Got your other email...will get back to you this weekend.
-
Your welcome Dave, it was long overdue.
-
Just sent in my $20. Been a long time listener, and now that I'm employed it seems right to give back.
-
$25 on the way. Thanks for continuing to make this site available. Happy 2013.
-
Just sent you 20 I know its not a ton but hope it helps.
-
Thanks!
-
I will also donate 15$ through paypal as soon as possible.
-
I may donate to you guys soon :) Great service!
-
Sent you another $20 earlier today Dave...Thanks for your dedication to this site!
Ron
-
Just sent $25 in. Have enjoyed for years and time to donate for such a quality site.
-
Thanks, Paul!
-
Glad to donate $25. Will continue to donate. Any word on KPRC coming back online?
Thank again for this site!
-
Thanks, Brian…lots of good stuff coming.
KPRC will be back, better than ever. It is a work in progress with Embry-Riddle…hopefully back within the next 2 weeks.
-
Thank you Dave! Looking forward to the KPRC upgrade.
-
Can't do a lot but 25.00 should help a little.
-
I will be donating soon.
I am also appealing to our fellow members to checkout a campaign in Indiegogo:
While in Indiegogo, just search for "Help me Pay for my Private Pilot License Training" created by Vladmir Odhiambo.
Thanks

$100 on the way: I have now been using this site for almost 10 full years (I remember my first nights listening to NY Approach back in January, 2005). Thank you for ten years of entertainment!
-
Thanks, Ken!
-
My annual $100 contribution is coming your way. Still crazy about this site after all these years.
-
Thanks, Ken!

I was reminded today that it is time for my annual contribution. $100 on the way.

Hey Dave,
I'm more than happy to donate to this site you run but what are you doing about getting Shannon (Ireland) High Level back up with a new feeder?
Thanks

-
I just had bigger investments for my feeds here.
Nevertheless: LiveATC.net is such a great thing and Dave is such a great operator that I'm happy to support it directly with a donation of 25$.
Many thanks to Dave, his helpers and all the enthusiasts who run feeds.

I don't have a lot but I think I can manage a 5$ recurring, I hope it helps!
-
The donation link is not working for me. I am getting a message advising the page is not found.
-
The donations link is currently not available. It will hopefully come back though in the near future. In the meantime, if you like, you can go directly to the PayPal site and send a donation to donate@liveatc.net or if you prefer, you can still donate the old-fashioned way by sending a check made out to LiveATC.net LLC and mailing it here:
