Anyone provide a Chicago O'Hare Feed??

[newgenaerospace]

Is there any hope of a Chicago O'Hare feed or are their restrictions?  I am too far out to get tower transmissions and the investment into my scanner BCT15 was anything but helpful...

Thanks!

[senduhelp]

I would love to hear one....I think that would be great listening.

Another vote for an O'Hare feed!

I'd like to help when I get a scanner. I'm probably close enough to the airport to get decent reception, so I can help feed one of the many frequencies in use.

(Related note to anyone in the north suburbs: Any volunteers for feeding Chicago Executive?)

I would like to hear a Midway feed, an ORD feed would be great too. Though, by this time next year, I could be going to college in Romeoville (Lewis) and maybe living further north. That'd put me about 20 miles away from Midway. I might be able to put a MDW feed up, but that's a long way off.

[KPryor]

Don't know what happened to the Midway feed that used to be here.  Hasn't been online lately and I miss it. Hope someone gets one up again sometime.  O'Hare would be very nice too.

My office is 1 mile away from O'Hare runway (west side of airport) and if someone can provide a scanner ( most important is pre-set, I don't know how to set) then I can try to do the feed. I can't afford to buy $200 scanner for this hobby.

Last thing is I like to test it out for couple weeks first, don't want the live feed taking up too much of my DSL bandwidth as I need to use netmeeting most of the day.

Any comment are welcome. But don't blame me

A single feed takes up 16kb/s of bandwidth on the feeder side.

[tbonesteak]

Hi Dave,
So if 50 peoples listerning on my feed then it's 16k x 50 = 800kps ? WOW
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks !

You misunderstood.  I said "a single feed takes up 16kbps of feeder bandwidth."  Is that an ambiguous statement? 

LiveATC does the "heavy lifting" of providing bandwidth for the many listeners we have - if we burdened every feeder site with that task, that wouldn't work very well, now would it?

[Lezam]

Basically, you send one stream to the servers, and they redistribute it 

[tbonesteak]

Hi Dave

Oh, I see ....    I am ESL so English is not good enough to understand your statement.

let me first buy the scanner and setup the frequencies, make sure it's able to catch ATC at O'Hare. Then I let you know when I am ready for the live feed.

Anyone got recommended scanner ( may be around $100 ) ? and frequencies handy for ORD arrival & departure ? It's going to help me alot to speed up the setting.... because I don't know much about scanner and I am newbie.

[Darrell]

I picked up an Old Bearcat 210 XLT Scanner from Ebay for 35.00. Is that cheap enough?

[tbonesteak]

I got the BCT8 setup already, now try to figure out how to put online..... everyone just wait little while.

Thanks.

This will be up some time today.

The KORD feed is now live!

http://audio.liveatc.net:8012/kord.m3u

Note: Feeder is within 1-2 miles of KORD.  Looking for frequency suggestions...final controller is hogging the feed right now.  Right now there is only one receiver - open to suggestions.

Note: There may be one or two other KORD feeders ready - still need to iron out details.

[yb]

Saw it appear on the front LiveATC page just now and my first reaction was "YES!" Thank you for putting this up!

[KSYR-pjr]

The KORD feed is now live!

Congratulations, Dave, and a big thank-you to tbonesteak for volunteering the feed! 

[airfinair]

First, thanks for all the hard work in getting this feed up. I've missed my live ORD feed.

Second, for suggestions on freqs:

O HARE GROUND:  121.675 121.75(OBND) 121.9(IBND)
O HARE TOWER:  120.75(SOUTH) 126.9(NORTH)
CHICAGO APPROACH:  119.0 (NORTH), 128.45 (SOUTH)
CHICAGO DEPARTURE:  125.0, 125.4, 127.4

Thanks again for the feed. I'll be listening...

[LAPTOP GAMER]

KORD is fun to listen to as well, man those controllers get slammed!

[mjtibbz]

congratulations and thank you for this feed

Here's a complete list of C90 (Chicago Approach) frequencies and the positions they correspond to. Arrival positions are the Finals and Feeder positions feed the Finals.



East Feeder - 124.35
East Arrival - 119.0
West Feeder - 135.07
West Arrival - 128.45
Trip Arrival - 135.025    (used when running triple finals)

North Departure - 134.4
South Departure - 127.4
East Departure - 125.0
West Departure - 125.4

North Satellite - 120.55  PLUS  120.25
Sector 1 - 118.4
Sector 2 - 119.35
Sector 3 - 133.5
Sector 4 - 127.875  PLUS  133.1
North VFR Advisories - 126.8
Lockport - 124.425


NOTE: Sectors 1-4 are all Approach and Departure frequencies for MDW. They are basically South Satellite, and their airspace changes depending on MDWs active runways.

If you want any more information about what the sectors do, just ask

[ogogog]

most of the time the trip rwy is run at the east feeder position (124.35),it very rare that the trip position is open.as for sect 1 to 4 are not basically south sat freqs. that ARE south sat freqs.when MDW is 31C or 31C cricle 22L 118.4 is the final controller ,when MDW is 4R, or 13C 119.35 is the final controller.

What freq/time of day would be my best chance for getting VFR advisories for the JOT area....?

THANKS!

[Michael Roche]

This is mainly an educated guess taken from the SOP and LOAs for C90, I don't have direct knowledge about this. But...

AFAIK, there is no VFR Advisories sector around JOT - it only goes out to the ORD 25 DME. JOT lies within Sector 2 airspace. Sector 2 is the Final sector when MDW is landing 13C or 4R, and is just a feeder sector at other times. Sector 2 is on 119.35.
