TSA/ Chicago? 168.850

[Marcy57]

Is NAC 070 Chicago...Midway ? I guess with the good condx. this morning I was able
to get it here with a 307 RID...Thanks 73,s Marcy

(reason I am asking is , is it used at other airports or exclusive to Midway?)

Marcy, the TSA at both airports in Chicago have moved to UHF frequencies, last time I checked.

And I don't think 168.8500 MHz was ever in the TSA lineup?

So not sure who you are hearing.

Oh ok? I did a thread search on NAC 070 and viewed a post I think it was
2022 on here that Midway was NAC 070 but that is few years ago..tks

You're picking up a surveillance aircraft flying over Massachusetts

It,s after the fact but I probably should have figured that out with the 307
RID but the NAC threw me off being N070 and not N167...thank you..Marcy

You would not be hearing them from Long Island even with the best of Opennings, but most TSA have migrated to UHF in the past few years.

RID's are not exclusive, however can be used to possibly ID an agency with more info.

FYI, I've seen other agencies using a simiar RID Pattern to that $167 agency, but the location match ups were to far away to make this a confirmation... ie; a CA RID series being used on a NON $167 Frequency but was heard (multiple RIDS) in FLA - so we were still stumped for years on this one.

Hopefully as Kenny mentioned 700 is running in the CLEAR for your listening pleasure
