This is interesting, I could hear controller and pilot talking. But they had some sort of stereo-separation! Pilot was to the left and tower to the right. Thats not possible, is it? I assume the audio is mono in real life.

Cool, hope the poor site author is not deluged with too many requests from us HN nerds outside the US (I already put in a bid for Zurich and Geneva, if that saves on duplicate requests...) I understand the feeds come from LiveATC, which has a FAQ answer explaining why UK feeds are legally forbidden [0]. Anyone happen to know why there are no German/Austrian airports on LiveATC [1], is it a similar legal issue? [0] ht…
According to wikipedia [0], ATC in Germany is subject to the Fernmeldegeheimnis [1]. It’s the same law that protects snail mail and other communications. Anyone who wants to even listen to ATC has to be certified [2], and then has to comply with that law.

One major exception is that you can listen to air band from a car if you're doing so in order to be able to retrieve a balloon, glider (sailplane) or other recreational aircraft.

it might pan the audio side to side each time there is silence just for effect.

I mean, why can’t the ATC streamer mix the audio sources into stereo?

Looks like you're right, this is breaking their TOS: >4) Since there are only limited numbers of connections available for streams, and because the site is funded through advertising and donations, you agree to consult LiveATC.net prior to linking directly to any of the audio streams. When you do link you agree to give credit to LiveATC.net with a prominent link to www.liveatc.net. Not nice.
>you agree to consult LiveATC.net prior to linking directly to any of the audio streams Why jump to that conclusion? She could have consulted with them while building this.
It could be but without explicit credits one shouldn't wonder when others do question this assumption.

#67This reminds me of SomaFM's 1033 which plays music overlaid with SF public safety radio traffic. [1]: https://somafm.com/player/#/now-playing/sf1033
There's also "You're listening to": http://youarelistening.to/

LiveATC often mixes multiple feeds for one airport (out of tower, ground, approach etc) into a stereo stream with one feed in each channel so you can listen to more than one frequency at once

Since the music is used without permission, it's reasonable to assume that the liveatc stream is as well.
