When traveling, airline schedule changes and problems can be perplexing. Listening to control towers can provide entertainment and informative bits of information. It is as simple as having the Skywave scan for an active frequency. The best one is usually the approach frequency used for planes that are landing. You can also search the web for “air traffic control radio Seattle” for example, to find information and to learn more about aviation radio. If you live next to a smaller airport you could ask a local pilot for the frequency or look up “common traffic advisory frequency” plus the airport name. English is the standard language used in aviation at all airports worldwide.
