What feed are you trying to set up?  Do you have a ticket number connected to your LiveATC emails (it should be a five-digit number starting with 5)?  Suggest you try replying to the latest email from LiveATC again or provide the ticket number here.  Thanks

Feed Setup Pictures / Wrong password but no reply from admin?

« Last post by tintinstudio on November 20, 2025, 15:40:34 UTC »

Hi all, my first post and glad to join the great community.  I am trying to set up a new feed. Took me a while, but I have everything done on the hardware side. The liveatc admin gave me the software, password and instructions to set up the software. But I can’t connect to the servers, everytime I click connect, the software reject it.  I checked very carefully everything entered correctly. I think I am given a wrong pass code or it’s not activated on the server side.  Tried to contact the admin, he said going to use Remote Desktop to take a look. But try to contact him again a few time to follow up,  no reply for a few months.

Is there anything I can do? Or I should give up the project?

Listener Forum / Re: Coverage for 120.12 just outside of Chicago?

« Last post by jeffcohen on November 20, 2025, 06:57:50 UTC »

I'm 12 miles from both O'Hare and Chicago Executive.

LiveATC has great coverage of most of the initial handoff frequencies, it's that second handoff where aircraft are getting above 15,000 feet and get handed to the next controller that I'd love to listen into.  120.12 seems to be a popular one for all flights heading south of Chicago.

No worries, I was really just hoping I could help out somehow and that missing frequency seemed like an opportunity

Thanks again.

Sorry to say, 75 miles is way too far to hear any controllers.  Generally, you have yo be very close to an ATC transmitter site - less than six miles away.  And even that distance can be problematic if there are obstructions in the way like hills or tall buildings.

You won't have any trouble hearing the aircraft on a high altitude frequency. Sometimes you can hear them when they're 200 to 300 miles away.

Do you live near an airport? Even a small regional one?

Thanks so much for that link!

Looks like I'm about 75 miles from the Kankakee station that transmits on 120.12.  Guessing that's too far?

Are you close to any of these locations on this page?

I'm not exactly sure which frequencies come from which sites, but I'm about 45 miles from the facility in Aurora, IL, where I assume many of these come from.  But maybe that's too far away to be reliable?

If you’re trying to get aircraft and the controller, you’ll have to be somewhat close to one of the antennas. Are you close to any of the sites?
