US President Visit from Ottawa March 23-24, 2023

[mmisk]

Just heard RCMP on 425.7125 giving a weather report a few minutes before landing

The Eagle has landed

I have 421.7125 logged a while back as NAC 100 was ENC at that time

I assume 425.7125 would be the repeater input?

Have some activity on 421.7125 looks like a voice output

This is what was displayed:
Enc Group Call; TG-1 [NAC 293 73D 421.288} VC TG:1 NAC:293 421.288

OPP is using 2 TAC01. I believe it is for Biden

Meanwhile down here in New Castle, Delaware. Typical home base US SS freq's are starting to come to life in anticipation. Oscar was first up tonight. I live 7mi LOS from the residence.

And off the ground I see/hear.

Good day to catch some OPP IDs. They're all going home if they haven't already left Ottawa and will likely be checking in/out on the wide area talkgroups.

That is what I heard disp from a local TG tell someone. The only thing I heard where I am, was them saying we will do a roll call about 2 hours before arrival. That was it for me, didn't hear any roll call or anything else

When I was watching, there seemed to be a constant plane flying over with refueling capabilities.
@cdnavspotter @legoguyca posted some awesome pictures from the ground on Twitter.

Did anyone catch which freqs US SS were using for the visit?

I found them on RR and programed them to my SDS100. Comm's were encrypted.

I figured they’d be encrypted. Which freq's were in use?

I’m sorry for beleagering the point, but for clarification, were each of those freq's active last week?
Or, were those the ones you programmed in to see if they were active?

They are the ones I programmed into my scanner from RadioReference USA.

 

[mciupa]

Yes, but did you log activity on any of them is what I think they are getting at.

 

[hunterca]

Yes, but did you log activity on any of them is what I think they are getting at.

Sorry, I did not log it at all, I just heard the encryption for a few minutes and then I went to bed early.

 

[mciupa]

No worries!
Even if encrypted, I like to see frequencies come to life.
So, it is worthwhile to program these: Secret Service (United States) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference even in Canada!

 

[ecps92]

Sorry, I did not log it at all, I just heard the encryption for a few minutes and then I went to bed early.

So you did Confirm some of them as active in Canada, then - Thanks

I listened a bit, but was busy doing other things, and it was on the few unencrypted OPP channels.
However, I was downtown early Friday morning where the whole area around the hotel was blocked off to traffic. Saw a black SUV parked outside the hotel with four thick black vertical antennas of various heights on the roof.

From about a block away, and judging only by proportions with the vehicle, they looked to be something like 2" diameter. The short one seemed about 18" high was at the back on the roof centreline. The tall one seemed about 5 feet was in front again on the roof centreline, then two at left and right of centreline looked to be about 3 feet high. I would have loved to know what they were running with those!
