My Favorite Race of the Year – the 24 Hours of Le Mans
This year, amateur radio Field Day and the 24 Hours of Le Mans occur on the same weekend. My amateur radio readers will be upset with me but it really isn’t a difficult decision; I can play radio any weekend but the 24 Hours of Le Mans only happens once a year. Additionally, Field Day … Read more
NIMS Talkgroups on the SEGARRN and Chatham-Effingham TRS
In my previous post, I mentioned NIMS talkgroups. If you listen to the SEGARRN and/or Chatham-Effingham TRS, the NIMS (National Incident Management System) talkgroups are something you will want to be aware of. If you listen to public safety communications and you haven’t programmed them into your scanner, you’ll definitely want to remedy that. The … Read more
Glynn County SEGARRN Activity
I’ve been running ID Tracker III with the BCD396XT while in Brunswick over the last several weeks. While Glynn County hasn’t begun using the SEGARRN for its primary means of communication, there has been some activity; some of it new and some of the same as previously reported. Glynn County Public Works still appears to … Read more
DPD Productions Indoor ADS-B Antenna Improving Reception
I don’t have any technical data to offer as proof, but I do have results to offer as proof that the DPD Productions Indoor ADS-B antenna has improved the reception of my RadarBox. At one point this afternoon I was receiving 30 aircraft on Mode-S and 9 of those were plotting on the map. That … Read more
Coast Guard Air Station Savannah MH-65D Transition Complete
Savannah, GA – It appears that Coast Guard Air Station Savannah’s transition from the MH-65C to the MH-65D Dolphin helicopters is complete. The process apparently began in April and ended in late May. Over that time I stopped hearing the five MH-65Cs that were at the Air Station and heard a gradual transition to the … Read more
Museum Ships on the Air 2013
Savannah, GA – This past weekend was the 2013 Museum Ships on the Air Weekend. The purpose of Museum Ships on the Air is to get as many museum ships as possible on the air on the amateur radio bands; for 2013, there were 106 ships participating as of 31 May 2013. I find it … Read more
Mode-S Log; May 2013
Note: It may not be showing up in the log due to multiple hits on the same aircraft, but with the addition of the DPD Productions Indoor ADS-B antenna in place of the stock RadarBox antenna is allowing me to “see” a lot more aircraft on Mode-S. I haven’t figured out quite yet how much … Read more
Military Monitoring Recap; May 2013
Due to a variety of reasons, I didn’t spend as much time on the radios during May, but the month was notable for two reasons. First, VMFA-312 has definitely switched to 253.100 for their Base frequency; they consistently used it throughout the month as in April. Second, the transition from the MH-65C to the MH-65D … Read more
Fort Stewart/Hunter AAF P25 380 MHz TRS Update – 1 June 2013
I recently noticed that there was now data on this system on the Radio Reference website. One thing I noticed immediately is that site 1 is misidentified on Radio Reference; Site 1 is located in Savannah on a tower near Derst Bakery, not in Bryan County. Below I’ve taken information from my personal monitoring, Radio … Read more
I’m Back
A week ago, I wrote that I was taking an indefinite break from writing this blog. During that week, a number of things have happened. First, I got a WordPress message that it was my third anniversary using their service. After letting that sink in, I went back and noticed that I started blogging in … Read more
