Multiple SEA feed links?

[jsapyta]

Hey guys,

I'm curious why is there multiple SEA feeds, in their discriptions it looks like they overlap the same freqs. IE arrival and departures.

Different people run them.  Hard to coordinate.

Hi Dave.

Hmm! okay, kinda strange but oh well. LOL

A common misconception among the newbies is that there is one person, the site founder/admin, who runs all feeds.  In reality he does not.  Dave donates his time and money to provide a central server (or more) that receives and merges individual feeds into this site, but the feeds themselves are hosted by numerous volunteers from across the world. 

While Dave can provide assistance and gentle guidance to the volunteer feeder, it is ultimately up to each volunteer to decide what frequencies he or she hosts.  You don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say.  In the case of SEA, it appears as if both volunteers desire to feed some overlapping frequencies.   Oh, well.

Now that you know that this site is fed by volunteers from across the world and put here thanks to the philanthropic kindness of the site founder/administrator, would you agree that it is kinda not strange?

I'm one of those feeders in SEA -- I think it's great, personally.  The more the merrier.  I decided to put up a feed for the final of KSEA and leave it on that one frequency -- specifically because other feeders have other frequencies covered.  So now my home town airspace has more quality in its feeder ranks than quantity.   Gives a better experience for those that like to listen to one frequency continuously (plus I think I have better reception for the final anyway -- I'm on a hill, 1400 ft from the main final approach fix -- I can almost see the field)  If only the dang radio station antenna wasn't a mile away and bleed into the feed sometimes

SEA rules!!

Just out of curiosity, is there any way that someone could put up a TWR-only freq?  It gets hard to listen sometimes when the Alaska Airlines freq drowns out everything else.  No big deal, as I will gladly listen to both, but the TWR usually stays busy enough for just itself.

Anyway...just a suggestion.

The more that contribute the better. I wish we had more feeds for LAX, like approach, departure, and even center would be nice.
