I managed to catch the radio traffic between Snowbird SNBD01 and the Italian pilot's plane today as they were flying over Ottawa. I was tracking SNBD01 on my PiAware and ADS-B Exchange. The Italian jet did not display on either PiAware or ADS-B Exchange. I recorded the audio and put it into Audacity to remove the long silences. Recorded on 128.175 MHz using an old Uniden BC 172XL analog scanner with a Larson NMO 150 magmount antenna on a pizza pan ground plane located in my living room with a mono Sony IC Recorder.
It's funny, I was in the process of programming a list of frequencies for the Snowbirds into my BCD396XT and thought I missed it and by chance caught it on my old 20 channel analog scanner.
I posted the mp3 to my google drive for downloading.
