Flying in.
Posted on July 14th, 2008 by Ivy
Well playing with Hannah’s HT a Yaesu VX-5 I can pick up the automated voice transmision from the control tower for Essendon Airport. It repeats itself, giving the time in UTC, with windspeed and direction, and temprature. The frequency that this transmits on is 119.8 MHz. Also been able to pick up flights coming into Melbourne Airport. Rather nifty, and kinda boring sometimes.
In other news Hannah and I popped into Strictly Ham, in Bayswater, to have a look at some radios, I think we’ve decided that we will get the IC-7000.
