Go to any airshow in the UK these days, and you are sure to see
dozens, if not hundreds of people walking around with aerials
sticking out of their heads. Ever wondered what they are listening
to?, well chances are its either the control tower or the display
teams own radios. From this page you will find airband frequencies
to enable you to listen to aircraft, whether it be civil, military
or flying display teams, and a small selection of online ATC
services for you to listen to.
Is it Legal? In short - NO,
It is illegal to listen to any frequency unless you are licensed
to do so, for the majority of us that means only FM radio, TV, and
shortwave radio stations. What you may or may not listen to is
governed by the Wireless Telegraphy Act.
