Isn't the Canadian border closed to all non essential travel. If the border doesn't stop you, the ticket price will stop you from going! $75 for the cheap parking spot, to $150 bucks per car for the better parking spot.

Problem solved, the air show in London is sold out.

Heads up; Toledo F-16s are heading to Europe tomorrow (likely a pre-dawn departure). GOLD 86/GOLD 96 are staged at KLCK for the fighter drag.

Is there any DOD/Military activity on 380MHz Trunked in the S.E. Michigan area, particularly Macomb County? If so is it encrypted or in the clear.

I have yet to hear any yet .Iam over by the Tank Plant in Warren

I'm in Macomb Twp, MI and I hear military comms from Warren, and Harrison Twp on MPSCS P25 Phase 1 system, but nothing from any 380MHz trunked systems. It's my understand it is a nation-wide system. Anyone?
