Joint Services Open House

The Joint Services Open House at Joint Base Andrews is this weekend. Here are some monitoring suggestions:
  • Joint Base Andrews trunked system. As in previous years, this system will handle security, medical/first aid, and show organizers.
  • Prince George's trunked system. PGPD coordinate traffic around the base and at FedEx Field. PGFD provides first aid services at the show. Note that most of the traffic on this system is TDMA, which means the only scanner that will work is the PSR-800.
  • For frequencies for the aerial performers, see the Monitoring Times Air Show Guide (PDF).
  • A post on the Scan-DC mailing list provides some frequencies that were in use earlier today, and should be active on Saturday and Sunday. The air boss is using 125.3500, the Thunderbirds are using 141.0750 (AM) and 235.2500, and the Golden Knights are using 123.1500.
For frequencies and talkgroups in use for the 2008-2010 shows, see my Prince George's County page. Scroll down to the "Special Events" section.

See the RadioReference Wiki for (mostly air) frequencies for the 2006-2011 shows.
