Super Bowl 59

[ChrisP]

Anyone interested in a thread on Super Bowl and related comms?

I'll start - I've been monitoring the LWIN site at the Superdome, and it was fairly quiet except for the occasional Acadian ambulance traffic. But as of today (Monday, 2/3) things are picking up.

BTW, the control channel listed in the RR database is incorrect. The current control channel is 769.66875 MHz, Site 01-049.

I did submit an update to the DB but it hasn't been processed yet.

Looks like a POTUS visit Sunday per FAA Safety Notice posting.

 

[ChrisP]

I know they always have contingency plans in place for a POTUS visit every year. It doesn't always happen, but they're ready.

hi
will be monitoring the lawin on broadcastify calls.
If anyone finds out what channels are being used for what please post here. Some of the Orleans interop / coordinate channels are already active.

 

[ChrisP]

Lots of air traffic today. The CBP helicopters showed up and did several orbits around the Superdome and took pictures.

A lot of the talk groups on LWIN on the Federal side is encrypted according to the data base

White House confirmed today Trump will be at the game.

 

[ChrisP]

Yes the federal TGs on LWIN are encrypted, but there seems to be some activity in the clear on some of the statewide interoperability TGs.

 

[ChrisP]

There are quiet a few active federal channels in use around the stadium that are not on LWIN, just FYI...

 

[ChrisP]

We also had several passes overhead of the Superdome by some V-22 Ospreys, likely our flyover for the anthem on Sunday.

Biggest game of the year and all they get for the flyover are Ospreys?

 

[ChrisP]

It is a domed stadium...

anyone have any info on tgs in use for nopd and lsp?
I know there are patches up so nopd D8 is in the clear on a state coordinate channel and the orleans interop channels have activity on but this sems to be changing each day who's using what so it's impossible to track.
Any help is appreciated.

It will change every evening depending on location of event/ events

they are using
Orleans Inop regional Channels
Statewide introp channels
Regional coordinate channels
Troop NOLA channels

While some will be patched it will all depend on events and locations

thanks I appreciate it
never known anything like it to be honest
feels like there's no reall comms plan?

 

[ChrisP]

Just some random things heard - The downtown helicopter traffic in New Orleans uses 123.0500 as a CTAF frequency.

I have heard some radio checks on the 800 MHz TAC channels (851.0125 MHz), but nothing on the 700 MHz interop frequencies.

 

[DEECEE10]

They have a plan all set in stone they just change it depending on the day, because everyday it is a diffrent event may have one event may have 6 events. i know they are using R1-Coord for state agencies patching with NP-8 DIST and for drone interception etc. interop channels were used for military and outside angencies by the superdome and NFL control with JTOC, Orleans were being used for patching with EMS angencies and FD agencies also Law angencies working around the superdome.

I'd bet a case of Beer, there is a 205 for each and every agency and they are all included in the IAP

What is an IAP ?
An "IAP" stands for "Incident Action Plan," which is a written document outlining the objectives, strategies, and tactics used to manage an incident during a specific operational period, typically used in emergency management situations by first responders to coordinate their response effectively; it details key information like incident goals, assigned responsibilities, resource allocation, and communication protocols.

What is a 205 ?
A "205" in an IAP (Incident Action Plan) refers to the "Incident Radio Communications Plan" (ICS 205), which is a form used to document all radio frequencies, talkgroup assignments, and contact information for personnel involved in an incident, essentially serving as the communication plan for responders on scene.
