Thanks for expanding LHBP Budapest... can we get Control feeds back?

East and West Budapest Control feeds are nice to have if they can return at some point. Thanks to the feed provider for expanding LHBP with the main airport feeds.

It is back thank you to the feed provider and liveatc!

LHBP Control has been down for around 127 days now, but all the other channels of LHBP work, do you know why exactly LHBP Control is out?

That specific feed was provided by a different feed provider and that provider was only streaming LHCC Control, not any of the others.  It is not connected to any of the other LHBP feeds.  Since the feed has been down that long, it is unlikely that it will come back.  Sorry, wish there was a better answer.

And can you tell me how close do I have to live to the airport in order to provide coverage? Because I live around 56 km (35 mi) from the airport by air.

Depending on how high the aircraft is, you can usually hear an aircraft radio transmission for great distances.  But, in order to hear any transmissions from controllers or aircraft on the ground, it's best to be within 10km (6mi) of the airport.  And even that small distance can be a problem if there are buildings or other obstructions (tall hill) in between you and the airport.  If you live at a much higher elevation than the airport and you have a clear line of sight to the airport, then the feed site can be further away.  If you are 56km from LHBP and unless you live on a high mountain facing the airport, that is almost definitely too far.

Thank you very much for your answer. Then the only thing for me is to hope that someone will provide the coverage for LHBP Control very soon.
