Great idea and lovely implementation. If I could make one nitpick, it would be to add some tags so that it shows up as a Twitter card for when people tweet about it: https://dev.twitter.com/cards/overview https://cards-dev.twitter.com/validator (FWIW, looks fine on the Facebook linter because of the og:meta tags https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/?q=http%... )

It is not allowed to listen to radio transmissions you aren't the destination of in Germany and apperently in the UK. So listening to policeradio, AirTrafficControl or anything similar is prohibited by law. https://forums.liveatc.net/listener-forum/german-atc/
What an odd law. Anybody aware of the reasoning behind this?
There's a cultural norm embedded here. What you think is odd and what's normal is strongly dependent on your priors.

Why would people downvote this comment? Seriously? I was saying Wow because I was able to listen to conversations through airlines in Paris and Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, they were speaking English through traffic control. I think this is quite an amazing tool.

I find the "General Conduct" section of SA rules explains that kind of thing simply and clearly and in terms that apply basically across the entire internet. http://www.somethingawful.com/forum-rules/forum-rules/ The HN rules kind of don't explain this kind of thing as they assume you're tech- and internet-savvy already.
