[MilCom] Monitor Project - What Fleet Broadcast Freqs Do You Hear?

[Mike Riffle]

Location is west-central Georgia near the Alabama border. Scanner is an Icom
R-7100 connected to an attic mounted Scantenna using 50ft of RG-6. There is
also a RadioShack 10db inline amp at the antenna.

250.350 - weak S2
250.450 - nothing heard
250.550 - weak S2
250.650 - very weak S1

Signal strength based on FM mode which sounds like noise. In SSB mode the
data signal is clearly heard.
