Hello wave catchers,
Trying to receive Air Traffic Control conversations from passing airplanes. I'm using SDR / sdr# / Win10 (not that it matters for the antennae).
So I'm curious to know which antennae is your favorite for that application. The range for Air band voice is from 118MHz - 137MHz, but which one should I build, and what length should it be to cover that band?
I don't expect to hear anything from the airport, as I'm too far from the ATC tower. I should be able to hear one way 'conversations' from some aircraft passing by. I'm using a telescopic antennae now for that application but the results are far from satisfying. It comes in a little higher than noise floor. Need to get fabricating
Cheers!
