396.875 was in use by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) cadets. I saw a couple of them lugging around Icom handhelds with a big number 1 on the display. CAP also was heard on 148.150.

Others in use:
469.500 seemed to be main ground support. I also hear traffic on 469.1875 and 469.2875. The latter seemed to be in use by parking control people. Edit: Also heard a ground crew on 154.600.

The USAF Parachute Team used 121.950 as its air-to-ground jump coordination freq.
