I know about VA Hospital Tampa & Macill Air Base is there anything else? That is not encrypted.

Try 163.05, St. Pete Coast Guard Station, their comms are usually encrypted but once in a while I hear transmissions in the clear.

If you are interested in Military Air frequencies, there is quite a few of them that are used at the Avon Park bombing range. I am able to copy it in North Pinellas, so depending on where you are, you should be able to copy all of the comms there. Let me know if you are interested.

I would put sometime into searching
138-144, 148-150.800, 162-174, 380-400, 400-420
and see what you can find...

162.6 so you can bypass the NOAA broadcast stations.

Yeah, but you miss the stuff between 162.0 and 162.4 MHz - There is stuff there!

Thanks for pointing that out Chris. What type of traffic have you logged there and where are you located? I guess I need to reprogram my search limits.

Tnx,
V

Surprised No one has questioned my 400-420 and changed it to 406-420 either...

Thanks Guys for the help. I'll scan through the listed frequencies to see what I find to listen to.
