Hello all,

Silly that scanners are not allowed here...
No idea about ACARS.
If you want, you can listen to AMS ATC via http://www.atcbox.com

Hi,
Shotwavelistening is not illegal in Belgium.
Maybe your parents or grandparents still have an old radio where you can here shortwave transmissions on.
Airplanes, ships, oilplatforms etc. are in the Utility section of SW listening.
Off course the conversations you here are for your ears only, witch means you may not bring the conversations in public.
If you want to know more about this, take a look at
www.dxa.be
Unfortunately at the moment there are problems with the website, but you can always take a look later.
I don't know if acars is allowed.

It may sound funny but I went on the site and didn't find where to listen to AMS ATC.If you want, you can listen to AMS ATC via http://www.atcbox.com
But I had a great time listening to Atlanta ATC and Boston Approach.

SW monitoring is quite popular in UK as Oceanic traffic, which will cross the UK, can be heard and identified (by SELCAL) many hours before the aircraft can be seen. Listeners now use modern equipment capable of SSB receiving which many old radios are not equipped to deal with, causing transmissions to be garbled.
Because of the way shortwaves travel monitoring such stations as Santa Maria and Cairo is regularly possible , so some quite exotic stuff can be heard.

Chris,
www.atcbox.com is a very nice website but the Amsterdam-streams don't work very often, the server is stored on a hot place under the roof of a house (op de zolder) and it crashes very often. The guy who needs to reset the server is also away very often. Also you need to be registered before you can hear the streams (if they work) If you surf while-and-then to the website it might work.
ciao,
Bart
