Title: ZNY #2 problem
Post by: 777lrf on September 05, 2016, 09:18:47 AM

I am not hearing New York Center (Sector 67 DIXIE Low)   118.975 on ZNY#2

but on the KNEL/KWRI/ZNY feed I hear that freq.

Just checked the JFK#2 feed and 118.975 is being scanned and I do hear aircraft on that frequency.  You won't hear the controller side of transmissions because of the receivers location.  There are a number of other frequencies being scanned on that radio so maybe the scanner was locking on other frequencies at the time?  It can get busy at times on that radio...

I was not hearing the aircraft, but on the KNEL feed I was hearing the aircraft. Hmm maybe it could be a coincidence or just bad luck. Thank you for checking.
