Thanks to our SoCal MMP reporter Brian, we now have a new CAP airband A-A -- 129.450 MHz. I see nothing in the FCC database to support these operations and have received no other reports from anywhere in the US to indicate a nationwide trend. I hope other members of the MMP team plug in 129.450 MHz and see what activity they have in their areas. You can send your reports to the email address in the masthead.
I should note that the CAWG CAP is paying $1000 annually to Aviation Spectrum Inc (ARINC) for "Aviation Band Frequencies - Annual." So there might be more since they used the plural. More than likely the reason they are not in the FCC database is that because of all their newfound secrecy, they convinced the ARINC folks to not file or put it into some sort of FOUO category that does not get dislayed in the public file. I have long suspected that the FCC has a classification capability in their database that hides what should be public information from the public.
Brian also monitored repeater comms on 148.1250/143.7500 186. Hz PL tone (no designator noted)
CAP is in the midst of changing over there radio system to their new narrowband equipment. If you have a report of CAP transmissions from your area, please send them along as we put the entire system together from monitor reports.
Good luck/good hunting to all my MMP readers and thanks Brian.
