Thank you sir. Let me try these and see what I can raise from 19 miles. After reading some of the antenna posts I have my doubts but I will give it a try. We need a feed from Houston.
You may be surprised at what you pick up. Obviously you may need line of sight for the local controllers at IAH and HOU. I don't know where you are physically at there, so that will be up to your best judgment.
Another question to ask is if the TRACON there is all in one building. If so, what the proximity is of that building to you will play a factor. Good example of this is a consolidated TRACON, like Norcal Approach. It is physically about 4 - 5 miles from me, but controls everything from Sacramento down to Modesto and east to the Bay. Yet Las Vegas TRACON is located at KLAS. Also, are there any repeaters in your area.
It could be that you're close to all of it there, that you'd be in the best position to put together one of those superfeeds, like SFO. You never know.
