Title: Johannesburg OR Tambo Feed
Post by: renosh on July 08, 2013, 08:57:56 AM

Hi does anyone know why the Johannesburg Feed(FJOR) is down? The feed was functioning perfectly till April? I am a plane spotter and well as LiveATC listener. Thanks

Feed provider is unable to provide the feed any longer.

Yes, feeds are provided by volunteers within reception range of the airport to be covered - each volunteer is assumed to have a scanner radio with an audio output and audio cable suitable for connecting to a computer's sound card.
