Jim Weir has been providing the Air Boss frequency (among others) for
several years on his website.


At the risk of show my total ignorance :-), would someone please give me
Jim's website address? Thanks.

Ahem...I think MontBlack is incorrect on this point :-) Listening to the
Air Boss or the tower controllers is a must.


I didn't speak up, from fear that everyone else thought I was crazy, but I
gotta agree.

I would much rather hear the constant banter of the control tower working
it's miracles, like happens no where else, than the PA speaker trying to
fill time with inconsequential nothingness.



The rubber ducky handheld is not as OSH friendly as my jogging/treadmill
(armband) radio/headset.

My solution:
Have EAA "broadcast" the different (tower) frequencies over local FM radio -
using one of those low power (limited range) deelybob Drive-In movie theater
systems.

Our YMCA has a different FM channel to "dial" your headset to - under each
TV.

Yes, I said ....JOGGING!! :-)

It doesn't catch everything and it doesn't always work (try outside of
North American "prime time" for better luck) but when it works it's
pretty cool.

Thanks for the suggestion Matt. That's a lot of bits they keep there.
Unfortunately for some reason the airventure.org site archives stop at
the end of last May.

Somehow I finally found the info. www.airventure.org/forums still has
last year's data. Following the link for forums from the current
airventure home page takes you to a placeholder page for this year's info.

Going through the list for the week they had 39 forums sessions in the
5:30-6:45 PM slot and 17 in the 7:00-8:15PM period.

Here's the total numbers of educational sessions last year. It shows how
busy the place is that week. Hopefully the formatting comes out OK.

Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Total
Honda Plaza 66 74 79 81 75 64 18 457
Workshop 16 17 17 18 18 16 6 108
FAA 5 6 4 4 6 5 4 34
U-light/Sport 4 5 6 6 5 5 4 35
Author's Corner 12 14 15 15 17 15 10 98
Museum 13 11 14 7 11 11 7 74
IAC 4 5 4 13
Total 116 127 139 136 136 116 49 819
