Airboss freq
Can anyone verify 118.175 as airboss, I barely heard anything on that freq.
The Phantom demo and B-52 flyby were also totally silent.
Blues I got pretty well.
I'm thinking maybe my stock antenna is crap, trying a different one for tomorrow.
Last year though, airboss was coming through loud and clear, I doubt if I've hard a minutes worth of traffic in 2 days, somethings not right.
The spot I was at, and will be at tomorrow, is a little factory right off of Michigan on a loop road called Schooner, between Beck & Denten, marked with the red dot.
Pretty good spot, the flight path [red line] of the majority of performers is very close to this spot - The only thing that stopped me from moving just a bit over to the west, where I'd be right under the flight line, is that its a residential area, with private homes.
But as it stands, not too shabby, and many of the Angel passes were right over my head.
If anyone can fill in any freq holes here, or knows of a potential better spot, post back.
Plenty of room at my spot, lots of room for kids to run around and play.
You see a guy with a scanner and black hat and sun glasses, its likely me.
The only thing that bugs me about this spot is trees block alot of the ingress and outgress ,,, But thats almost unavoidable in almost any spot around the airport.
I know of some better ones, but cops are usually there blocking access, especially with the Blues there, so I'm not even going to try.
I was on the corner of Beck & Ecorse Friday, cops let a bunch of people group up there.
Not a bad view, but most of the action was far to the side.
