Looks like Air Boss will be 126.4, they were just granted their Special Temporary Authority under callsign WRYW916.

You are correct. Thanks for being proactive. The license link is below. Is it too "fresh" to make it into the RR FCC database?

ULS License - Aeronautical and Fixed License - WRYW916 - San Francisco Fleet Week Association - Frequencies Summary

Looks like they lost 134.7, or didn't bother to license it.

134.7 was used thru 2014, and 126.4 was used from 2015-2021. Then 134.7 popped up again last year.

It would appear so.

Will any of this be available on broadcastify feeds? Or is it necessary to own a scanner?

I'm not aware of any. You'll probably need a scanner.

Blue Angels survey flights going on right now:

275.350 Diamond
305.500 Solos
284.250 Box

Also using 237.800

 

[officer_415]

Correction, I believe 237.800 was solos.

305.500 is Fat Albert

 

[towhee_falconer]

I just saw the C130 depart oakland international runway 28L on flightradar24
They were/are using 305.5

Anyone know where the CommCart is located now? They are no longer on the Municipal Pier.

The premium seating was moved back from Muni Pier to Marina Green. So that would be my first guess.

Couldn’t hear Fat Albert at all, except when they were on Air Boss.

I found this streaming online.

Listening to: SFO Fleet Week | San Francisco, California, United States | LiveATC.net

Curious what freq they are using. I've punched in the freq from this thread and I'm not getting anything but a couple words and fuzz. Doesn't compare to the stream.

Could this be because I'm in Oakland with a basic antenna??

 

[officer_415]

Probably. Air Boss is at ground level and pretty low power.

I'll also add that if you have a lot of digital electronics around, they really impact the AM transmissions. Ubiquity network gear and a lot of solar microinverters are huge RF noise generators. I couldn't hear anything here with a BCT15x and a Yaesu air band radio, but a friend a few blocks away had much cleaner reception.
