Listener Forum / Re: Coverage for 120.12 just outside of Chicago?
« Last post by jeffcohen on November 19, 2025, 14:16:50 UTC »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?

Aviation Audio Clips / I was on a United flight that made an emergency landing After I saw smoke
« Last post by KB4TEZ on November 19, 2025, 11:50:03 UTC »https://www.businessinsider.com/united-airlines-emergency-landing-sfo-hongkong-smoke-2025-11
(excuse the choppiness, but Norcal set up isn't the easiest to pull audio from)
As told to Aditi Bharade
United Airlines flight 869 made an emergency landing because of a burning smell in the cabin.
Passenger Vincent Goh sent goodbye messages to his friend when he saw smoke billowing from the plane.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Vincent Goh, a 25-year-old working in the Bay Area for a Cantonese publishing house, who was on United flight 869 when it made an emergency landing at SFO. It has been edited for length and clarity.

« Last post by jeffcohen on November 19, 2025, 06:09:15 UTC »Just following up... what would be required to get coverage for some of the higher-altitude frequencies in the Chicago center area? I don't know how close I would need to be in order to pick up some of the further-away/higher altitude zones?
I'm willing to acquire whatever equipment would be necessary to help provide some extra feeds for the Chicago center area, I'm just not sure how to get started or if it's even realistic?

Savannah police confirmed there were two people inside the craft who were uninjured. Chuck Kearns with Chatham County Emergency Services said the passengers refused being taken to a hospital.
Authorities said the aircraft deployed a parachute before making the emergency landing.

Listener Forum / Re: APP
« Last post by RonR on November 13, 2025, 14:34:52 UTC »The "Allow Background Playback" setting only appears in the Android version of the LiveATC app. So, if you have that setting and that box is checked, then it might be necessary to uninstall the app and then reinstall the app. It's possible that there is another app that might be interfering with that setting. Hopefully reinstalling the LiveATC app will take care of that problem.
