Obama's coming to Elkhart

[joshua80]

As eveyone knows president Obama is making an apperance in Elkhart, IN monday.
Does anyone know which frequencies to moniter for the secret service and aircraft

I would start here:

165.3750 CHARLIE
164.8875 OSCAR
166.5125 SIERRA

All will be P25 using a 001 NAC and most likely 100% encrypted. I would also scan the VHF fed band, a lot of times other federal agencies take part in detail. I have heard ATF in the past for POTUS visits.

Obama was in Williamsburg Va on Feb 5th. Biden was here Feb 6th.

You might want to read some of the posts at http://www.radioreference.com/forum...smill-house-democratic-conference-2009-a.html

Many of the posts refer to the actual conference, but there is a considerable number regarding the President and Vice-President's visits.

I would suggest you check NOTAMS for airspace restrictions. They will give you a general time of the visit and in many cases the route.

Here is the link: http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html

Scroll down below the map and look for Presidential/VIP movement TFRs. Right now there is one posted for Camp David. I don't see one for Elkhart. However, they can post a TFR just prior to the movement.

EDIT: Correction.... in checking another NOTAMs site http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html?C...0782B932E361D&jsessionid=f830c0f489c3515e3a16 there is a TFR for Elkhart!


Good luck.
