Looking for volunteer near JFK Airport

[dave]

The current location of my JFK feed equipment will become unavailable starting September 1, 2008.  Therefore LiveATC is looking for a new location for the equipment.

The ideal volunteer site:

1) Within 5-10 "air miles" of JFK
2) DSL or cable Internet connection
3) About 6 sq feet of free space for a computer and 8 scanners
4) An existing scanner antenna that we can tie into - or the ability to install a small scanner antenna outside or in an attic.

I would come by and do the install - the volunteer would typically not have to do anything but let the equipment run.  It does not use much bandwidth to send the streams (~128kbps upstream).

If you are able to help and/or know someone else who is, please contact me directly at dave <at> liveatc.net.  No need to follow up here really unless you have questions that might benefit the wider audience.

Thanks,
Dave

   As I have discussed with Dave someone that is 5 miles or closer would be optimum (FYI)

Dave i could do it again if needed I switched to Verizon FIOS from Cablevision and my connection is much more stable than it was.

Must be nice to be able to get FIOS. 

We have one nearby candidate location but plans are not completely firmed up yet.

Thanks for the offer - I will let you know.  It'll be good to catch up anyway when I'm down that way.
