Blue Angels SeaFair 2010

[igregg]

I setup my scanner today to log hits on long list of Blue Angel frequencies... so, while I wasn't at home to listen in, it seems these frequencies were pretty active during their practice today:

284.250
237.800
275.350
305.900

Anyone else been listening, or have other frequencies to add?

 

[SCPD]

346.5
289.8
348.725
302.1
139.8125
142.6125

What did you hear on 305.9?

Some of the frequencies you listed are here:

MilAirComms - US Navy Blue Angels Frequencies

It's kinda old but seems like they are still using them.

 

[igregg]

Well - I wasn't able to listen, just was going off of what was logged from my radio in bcTool but I believe 305.9 is Fat Albert...

I think it i 284.5 not .25. Also can 305.9 be 305.5 (solo/mo-10)?

 

[igregg]

I'll watch both those in too... Thanks!

Also, here is a good article from Monitoring Times.

No, it's 284.25 - and yes, both 305.9 and 305.5 are Fat Albert freqs.

Ok, i think i was mistaken on 284.25 being 284.25. I havent had 305.9 plunged in on my scanner.

Any updates for Seafair 2011? Otherwise, I'll proceed with 2010 data.

I normally am working and unable to listen/watch. I've been sidelined
with post surgery recuperation. Coincidentally, a new park was built
at high ground on Beacon Hill which will be perfect for me to ambulate
to, with camera and my new PSR-500 in hand.

Will need to learn how to enter freqs in this post-haste

thank you for the freq tips, f. i'll get up and learn how to use PSREdit to enter those digits in. hoping this will add a little fun as I listen in and take photos.

Would be nice if you listed a description along with the frequency.
