ATC: 121.5 Aviation Emergency, Snohomish County airp...
Located at 600ft elevation near the King/Snohomish, WA county border, this feed is dedicated to high-responsiveness monitoring of the 121.5 Emergency Guard frequency comms in a range over 160 nmi and local North Sound general aviation, some KPAE traffic and Harvey Field, and Monroe airport and Air2Air comms.
Note: High-altitude traffic is mostly covered on my Stratosphere feed to preserve local channel purity. That feed pairs well with my larger KSEA/Seattle commercial aircraft feed.
