Time to fire up those BCD396T's to see if the new Ft. Meade 380MHz system has anything "else"...

Denis, at 1145 I'm hearing a speaker in the clear saying that the motorcade route would be closed at 1220 and it does not need to be closed at this time. That was the only non-encrypted transmission I've run across. I'm not monitoring it full time - just happen to be searching through that band for MilAir.

No activity?

Denis, I have your online scanner up, but haven't heard a peep in over ten minutes. Anyone hearing anything on the 380Mhz?

The 380 system is very busy with 99% of it being encrypted traffic. Since I'm just running across the frequencies and don't have the system programmed, I don't know if it's Ft. Meade's or NSA's system I'm hearing. I suspect it's the NSA system since the NSA Police seems to be what I'm hearing in the clear.

If you mean my webcast, no, I can't do it during the day. All those PCs and monitors are in use for my day job. Sorry I can't help.

Follow-up from the logging program of the Ft Meade 380Mhz system.

HEAVY use of TG779 and TG100. Also light to medium traffic on the following TGs:
107, 401, 407, 503, 704 and 721.

Of course I was just logging the activity and not the audio, so I have no idea what was on these.
