"On Scene" Airport Watching & Monitoring

[SIGNAL555]

From another list, but a real goo idea.... Just a reminder that the nationwide Family Radio Service airshows & other airport watching/monitoring "on scene" activities calling/communicationsFrequency is Channel 14 (467.7125 mhz) with CTCSS 38 (250.3 hz) and the alternate frequency/ctcss is Channel 7 (462.7125 mhz) CTCSS 15 (110.9 hz).

So with upcoming airshow season or even the opportunity to visit your local
airport to watch & radio monitor flight activities give a call out on these
frequencies & perhaps you will meet a hobbyists with like interests!!!

A $10.00 FRS radio can come in very handy at these "on scene" activities, especially if there's different observation points at the airfields' perimeter.

Thanks for that! I had no idea that there was a special frequency designation for something like that.

Neither did I. :roll:

Wonder who "designated" it?

He added this paragraph in his other "double post" about the same topic, in the military air forum.

"BTW the FRS 14/38 calling channel has been around for many years & used by hobbyists in the northeast. For example at last year's Westfield/Barnes ANGB (MA) show, one hobbyist who wasn't going to attend, decided to attend and he put out a call to all milcom/milair hobbyists. He was in the same parking lot that I was in and we were able to meet up before even entering the show area."
