Something I’ve never tried but fancy having a listen.
I’ve done some googling and it seems the listening range starts at about 106 Mhz, and our radio goes upto 108Mhz!
Can’t afford a scanner but will I be able to hear anything on domestic radio?

Tuning into aircraft w/o a scanner
I picked up Seeb Muscat International airport ATC and a visiting Air France Concorde on a Sony FM radio cassette recorder when we lived across from the airport 🙂

I remember, before I got my airband radio several years ago that the radio in our garage could pick up Edinburgh Tower pretty well just after Real Radio so it would have been tuned to 100.6 MHz! The radio must have been warped!

Larry, you may not realise but you can do it through your PC, google airtraffic live or similar, here is one site for you
Oh thanks for that Tony!
I may be able to do it from my phone too,which I’m using to type this message

As far as I know, 108-117.975 MHz is for radio navigation aids (VOR) and 117.975-137 MHz is for aviation radio telephony…
Ah yes-
“Navigational Aids: 108-118 MHz – The navigational aids are normally non-voice communications and typically are not interesting to monitor. “
hmmm
