hey sheff, again, im in your neighborhood. O'Hare has no restrictions on LISTENING to the ATC, they wouldn't know. it's just illegal to talk on ATC.

for those who dont understand, who will know and how are they going to know who you are. your not broadcasting a signal of any type... Roll Eyes

hey Sheff, also listen into Palwaukee @ Twr:119.9 gnd:121.7, they get a good amount of acft (not to mention under my logo Roll Eyes

What's this? Do you know of a law prohibiting listening to an ATC freq. in the US? If you do, post a link or something, because I'd like to see that. And poor jimbo's head is gonna explode if he doesn't find out for sure!! Cheesy

Hmm, I was responding to jrs post which I thought meant that it was illegal to listen to ATC in the US, and now that I look back on it I guess he was actually saying that "it's not illegal to listen to ATC in the US"

My bad Embarrassed
