G'day Kolbers,
I was out pulling maintenance on my Exmark and with the heat and
hunidity so high I was looking for a reason to go inside in the AC.
Found the reason!!
I bought a quart of Aero Thane Christen Eagle Blue #177 for my FlagFly
and discovered upon receipt that what I needed was Insignia Blue. In
the interim my hangar/trailer rolled in Hurricane Sandy and the can of
Christen Eagle Blue got badly dented. No leaks, but it sure is dented.
I have no use for it and would like to see it get used, so if anyone
would be interested in almost a quart of paint in a can you'll probably
have to replace once you open the lid, make an offer.
Just about done with repairs from the hurricane, must finish new gap
seal and tailwheel yet and I'll be aloft.

Dave, Happy to hear the Flag Fly is up and about to be air born again.
Congratulations.
Wish I had a use for the paint. Aerothane is a catalyzed urethane it just
has for chemical agents to keep it flexible when used on fabric. Otherwise
it's not much different from other paints of its type that are used on
ground bound vehicles. You might try good old Craig's List to sell it
local. Some hot rodder looking to do some graphics or such might take it
off your hands without the trouble of shipping.
Lots of pictures of before and after when you return to flight, please. I'm
going to do an article on homebuilts from the standpoint of major repairs
such as yours.
Yours,
Rick Girard

Subject: | Matt's KLVK ATC Streaming... |
Dear Listers,
A couple of weeks ago I found a web site on the Internet called LiveATC.net that
has the Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower communications on line for streaming
for a number of airports around the country. Lo 'n behold, they even have a
stream for my home base, the Livermore Airport. But, much to my dismay, the quality
of their KLVK feed was just plain awful. It was obvious the airband source
didn't have a decent antenna or perhaps even a good radio. I suppose that
given that their site is a consortium of local citizens providing the feeds,
the lack of quality goes with the territory.
But, I really liked the idea of being able to monitor the LVK ATC and also the
ability to bring up the archives and listen to my personal communications with
the tower after a flight.
Since I had a computer at the hangar along with a pretty decent Internet connection
and, in the spirit of Experimental Homebuilding, I had an idea... I mounted
an air-band antenna on the top of the hangar and brought the RG-58 coax down
to near the computer and plugged it into my trusty Icom IC-A20 hand held.
I was AMAZED at the quality of signal I was getting. It was picking up guys in
airplanes 19 miles out like they were sitting next to my hangar! I set the
radio to high-speed scan between the Tower and Ground frequencies so with a single
feed I could get all communications.
So next, I made an audio connection from the handheld to the Line In input on the computer. Sure enough, now I was getting great sound from the hand held on the computer! I found some software from Australia called BroadWave from a company called NCH ( http://www.nch.com.au/streaming ). It lets you connect to the Line In port on the computer and then generate real time audio streams that can be served up via the Internet. And sure enough, it works great!
Next, I found some software from Germany called Loop Recorder ( http://looprecorder.de ) that let's you monitor an audio input on your computer and generate archive files. You can select an increment in which to rotate the files automatically, for example, every 30 minutes. I downloaded this software and installed it and sure enough, I was able to start archiving the ATC transmissions coming in, all the while streaming them live as well!
The last piece of the puzzle was to enable the Web and FTP servers on the Windows
7 system and come up with a front-end web page that would tie all of these
new resources together for easy access from the Internet. I'm happy to report,
the whole thing came together very nicely and even allows you stream directly
to your Android or iPhone as well as your desktop! Pretty darn cool!
And so, without further ado, here is my new web site for monitoring the ATC communications
at KLVK:
http://klvk.matronics.com/
Just to state the obvious, the stream is silent if there isn't any current ATC
or aircraft communications. During the day, you'll usually hear something within
five or ten minutes. Sometimes much quicker.
I contacted LiveATC.net and they were excited about adding my new stream to their web site as well. So, at some point soon, the LiveATC.net feed for Livermore Airport will be coming from my hangar! My site http://klvk.matronics.com will continue to be available as well.
