Barnes ANGB Airshow Question

[jetcrafter]

I'm programming radios for the airshow next weekend. There's plenty of info on the aviation freqs for the base. My question is there any base freqs in digital modes like OPs, security, etc.? The freqs on the net are scarce and if there are some posted, they are very old. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Bill, Thanks. I did see that page and there are only these two freqs listed that are over ten years old. Any ideas if they are still in use?

163.4125		N293	Barnes ANG Base Ops	2012.10.31 RR Report
173.5125	S	N293	Barnes ANGB Undetermined use	2010 SNE Report

I heard they are all ENC on the landmobile side (Police, Fire). No doubt MSP S-OPS will be in use along with 800 MHz I-Tacs.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. It explains why there is nothing on the frequency databases out there. Appreciate your reply.

Yes! Sounds good. Bonus seeing the airshow media day practice as well!

AS it get's closer, let me know if you are attending and found an off-site place to listen/watch

Someone (thanks Kenny) mentioned since it is Friday that the Observation Deck might be open and parking there, gonna try that first
altho google says Closed Permenantly

4 months ago the airport Facebook page mentioned that it is open during business hours
I think the observation deck used to be affiliated with the restaurant. The burger place appears to have been replaced by a sushi bar.

maybe that is why Google says closed, for the Burger place... Thanks Chris

Anyway, going to try that parking area, if anyone else is going, maybe we can find someplace else for Cooked Food

Sushi = bait.

I heard someone directed to 120.625 for Airboss an hour ago? So maybe there are multiples?

 

[cg]

120.525, sorry, typo. Still active. Will put in .625

 

[ecps92]

Air Boss is 120.5250 for Barnes 2023
just spent the morning searching out much of the Base Ops (sadly ENC) but the NAC is $340 for those who
find them in the 138-144/148/150.7 and 162-174 ranges

Wondering if this is "discret" that the Knights mentioned to the Air Boss that the Jet Truck was calling him on, this am
