Well they are back for San Francisco Fleet Week.  I was out on the end 
of Muni Pier where the BA's control & comm cart was, along with the FAA 
reps & the Air Boss.

305.5 Fat Albert
237.8 Diamond
275.35 5 & 6
284.25 Show Box

I might have 237.8 & 275.35 reversed on there use, forgot my ear phone & 
  conversations were hard to hear clearly, I'll try better today.

Before the practice show there were flying in groups of twos, getting 
their nav points, etc., most active was 255.2 during this part along 
with 237.8.

Also had 141.5625 & 139.8125 in scanner, no joy as I watched the Suppo 
talk on his HT five feet away from me.  I did not have 141.6125 
programed in for some stupid reason.  Again I'll try to get that one today.

Air Boss was on 134.7, discrete is 119.85 with 127.3 as a back up.

Coast Guard was using 157.05 (Ch 21), 157.15 (Ch 23), 157.075 (Ch 81) 
and 157.175 (Ch 83) with multiple units, Pac Comm in charge.  I think 
every law enforcement agency that had a boat was there along with SF 
Fires boat.

I took some pictures of the comm cart, along with the BA crew there, FAA 
& Air Boss if anyone is interested.  I will not respond on picture 
requests until after the weekend.
