2020 Teak International Air Show Guide is Now Available for Purchase
Every year, from March through November, millions of people
hit the road to watch the excitement and thrills as military and civilian
flight demonstration teams put their high performance aircraft through the
paces to entertain the crowds and perform at air shows all over the world.
Anyone who has attended one of these events will tell you it is thrilling to
watch the close quarter flying of the Blue Angels delta formation or the
hair-splitting maneuvers of the Thunderbird opposing solos.
While attending the show and enjoying the sights and sounds
is an exciting experience that is only half the fun. You can add another whole
dimension to that visual experience by monitoring the performing teams’ radio
communications.
With a radio scanner in hand, you will experience a whole new the perspective of the show that few of the attendees will ever experience – pilot
audio from the aircraft cockpit. While everyone else at the air show is just
watching and listening to the public address system narrator, you’ll be able to
hear what’s happening inside the cockpit, up in the tower and on the ground
with the hundreds of players that keep these screaming, state-of-the-art air
machines thundering through the skies.
But you can’t tell the players without a program, and to indulge
in the craft of monitoring the air show experience you need a current and
well-researched list of frequencies that the various performers may use during
their performances.
In our new annual Teak Publishing International Air Show
Guide eBook, 21st Edition, former Monitoring Times Editor and TSM Milcom
columnist Larry Van Horn - N5FPW, delivers the hundreds of air and ground
frequencies that you will need to monitor the action when you are within
receiving distance of any air show this year.
From the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds, military parachute and
search and rescue demonstration teams, to a wide variety of other military and
civilian demonstration teams from the U.S. and abroad, Larry has the list of
frequencies each unit has used. Now you can bring the excitement you see at the
show to your ears. Listening to the nonstop action at the air show on dozens of
radio frequencies is part of the real fun of being there.
But wait, there’s more! Larry also has a chapter on tips for
enjoying a great day at the air show. You will also get frequency lists for
other possible frequencies that may be used at the air show including DoD
Intra-Squad Radio frequencies and hosting site aero and LMR frequencies/call
signs. We also include in this eBook up-to-date air show frequency listings for
overseas military and civilian aeronautical demonstrations teams.
Finally, you will get the latest air show schedules for the U.S.
Navy Blue Angels, U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, Canadian Forces Snowbirds, the
Army Golden Knight Parachute Teams and more. We include the latest air traffic
control frequencies and selected LMR trunk radio systems for each facility
hosting or associated with a show when known.
This is the 21st annual edition of this popular frequency
monitoring guide published by the author in either Monitoring Times magazine,
The Spectrum Monitor e-zine, or by Teak Publishing in eBook form. This edition
of the Teak Publishing Air Show Guide is the most comprehensive collection of
air show information and frequencies ever published for the radio listening
hobbyist.
The 2020 Teak International Air Show Guide is
now available for purchase worldwide from Amazon.com at https://www.amazon.com/Teak-International-Air-Show-Guide-ebook/dp/B085FV1LCN/. The price for this fourth e-Book the edition is still only US$3.99. Since this book is being released internationally,

Teak Publishing.

Book one of The Milcom Files covers the columns published from 1998 to 2006 and sells for US$5.99 at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077NN7RQ5. Book Two in the series covers the period 2007 to 2013 and sells for US$6.99 at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077NQXH3C.
In 2017 Larry joined the Spectrum Monitor writing staff to continue his efforts to chronicle military communications in a new monthly TSM Milcom column.
His first TSM Milcom Archive eBook, the third book of the Milcom Archive series was published at Amazon in May 2019 and is available at https://www.amazon.com/Milcom-Files-Spectrum-Monitor-2017-2018-ebook/dp/B07RN1ZGLJ/ for US$4.99.
This third eBook in the series incorporates the first two years of his TSM Milcom columns written from September 2017 to the end of 2018. These Milcom columns documented HF military frequencies (both foreign and U.S.), and VHF/UHF spectrum military frequencies, mostly for U.S. based monitors. This third book in the series has over 200 pages of frequencies, call signs, monitoring tips, and how-to style articles.
Given recent international events and natural disasters, most radio listeners quickly learn that when the world is in crisis the military will usually be the first organization called upon to intervene. It pays to monitor military frequencies when international events heat up. Monitoring the military can offer some of the most productive and rewarding listening you will ever experience using your radio. The good news is you do not have to live close to a military installation to hear these communications. But you do need to learn where and when to tune in military communications.
Mention the words "Monitor the Military" and most radio hobbyists will immediately think of military air shows, military aircraft flybys or a whole host of other activities that can be heard via radio frequencies. There is a big radio frequency spectrum out there to monitor but if you know where to listen, and some cases when to listen, you can eavesdrop on some of the most fascinating radio communications you will ever hear on a scanner or shortwave radio.
If you are interested in monitoring military communications, own a scanner, shortwave radio, or have an Internet connection for web software-defined radio (SDR) monitoring, the Milcom Archive Files are a must reference on your radio shack shelf.
Larry Van Horn N5FPW, has been a radio hobbyist for more than 55 years listening to world events and monitoring military radio communications. He has spent over 33 years documenting activity in the military radio spectrum in his monthly Satellite, Utility World, and Milcom (Military Communications) columns in the pages of Monitoring Times, Satellite Times, and The Spectrum Monitor magazines. During this time, he has published a treasure trove of military communication monitoring information.
This book is being released internationally. Amazon customers in the United Kingdom, Germany, France Spain, Italy, Japan, India, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and Australia can order the eBook from Amazon websites directly servicing these countries. All other countries can use the regular Amazon.com website.
