CMARC activity

[fourwd1]

I've been hearing a lot of activity this morning on CMARC TG 11772.
The USCG, AA County Fire boat 19 and marine 10, FBI, all on "channel 81A", which makes me think someone has that TG patched to Marine VHF ch 81A. I was driving and didn't want to switch to Marine band to verify.
Sounds like a drill or maybe some actual incident on the water. Anyone else hear it?

May be its a coordination channel for the tall ship sailbration at Baltimore?

See if you can get radio IDs on the talkgroup, if they are unique then its pretty confident that the traffic is not patched from elsewhere.

It is the Sailabration.

See if you can match them up...

I fired this up temporarily to keep from having to access the commercial AIS sites from work....enjoy:

That is not the only active talkgroup, the system seems to be beaming with traffic for the Sailabration.

Last weekend in Norfolk, there were at least 5 tg's active on our regional ORION system along with marine 81 during OpSail 2012/ Harborfest.

Yes, plus some ops on MEMA ch 1 and UTAC3, which also have patches to each other and CG on 81A

Sub-commands are Balt area, water side, M-Tac, the "nosk"?, and air.

 

[fourwd1]

NRP is also using UTAC3.

An there is an E2C Hawkeye at Martin Airport.

11764-Sounds like MIEMSS units
11776- Sounds like Martins, they are talking about the Blue Angels aircraft security


As Fourwd1 says there are multiple things patched together 81A, UTAC43 and MEMA 1 as well the CMARC 700mhz Talkgroup. I am heading downtown later today, I will see if I can find anything else.

Pro96Com is showing ALOT of "PvtData" activity on the system -- curious what all this activity is -- I'm assuming it's GPS/location data for the radios/users being transmitted... Does anyone know?

Interesting that NRP is using UTAC. I've heard them coordinating with MSP on VTAC channels before. Have they been known to use UTAC channels in the past?

Plenty of activity on the known Baltimore USCG LANT freqs (see wiki), as well.

Just submitted an update to RR -- 771.33125 is an alternate CC that is being used.

Not CMARC, but here's what I found on Saturday:
