a new find for the locals, KSC TG 504 ID as "NET 217" - best guess? PAD OPS.
CAPE RSO mentioned to monitor Marine 83A (157.175)
FYI, based on POTUS being at KSC, USSS Baker, Oscar and Sierra were all active.

You can always tweet elon musk, and ask him if the dragon crew capsule has a UHF Aircraft radio on board. Maybe it is SDR based...
It probably is Software based. This is a figure posted by @uhf_satcom on twitter showing the S band stuff
launch probability is about 50/50 for today. NASA is planning a news conference at 11ET to discuss.
MAX BREWER BRIDGE IN TITUSVILLE IS AT CAPACITY AND CLOSED.
POTUS schedule for today.
for those of you at the cape, a very - VERY old NASA allocation was monitored 167.350 NFM being used by the NASA UH-1 rescue helicopters during the previous launch attempt. Nothing heard today (yet)
Also, VP Pence is inbound:

Looks like an combat air patrol is active, the tanker is offshore -
that is correct. there are 2 CAPs in place, ATLAS and TITAN (also mention of APOLLO and POLARIS) --- Support appears to be from Florida Air National Guard, and comms are on 260.9 and 234.800, refueling is on boom common 247.050

Anyone heard activity on 259.7 during prelaunch/launch?
negative. nothing was heard on the old UHF standby/backup/EVA shuttle frequencies during "comms checks" with Dragon.
Today I did an update to the brevard county database that captures some of the Aircraft and KSC simplex frequencies:
KSC/NASA/Eastern Range Operations (Brevard County) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference for KSC/NASA/Eastern Range Operations (Brevard County)

For those of you coming to watch "CREW-1" tomorrow, EXPECT EXTREMELY HEAVY TRAFFIC.
A few things of note.
"Site 001" (406.2375 control channel) of the KSC P25p2 system is WAY down on power. I do not know what the problem is, but this site is normally S9+ at my QTH and it's so weak it's in the noise floor.
TG820 (not in the RR database) appears to be directly related to the preparation of the launch vehicle. This TG was referred to as "NET B" with discussions of the crew access arm, etc. So you might want to put that one in your scan list.
