[Scan-DC] Re: Blimp Frequencies

[Steve Paulson]

I went ahead and compiled a list from the many out there (eliminating
duplicates) for my own future use.  I have not verified any of these freqs
so no guarantees.  I suspect the VHF / UHF air-to-ground frequencies will
depend on location (airports, unicom, etc.):

27.4900 Goodyear Blimp
35.0400 Goodyear Blimp
43.0400 Goodyear Blimp
122.8500 Flight Ops (common sky-writing freq)
122.9000 Unicom / Special Ops
123.0250 Goodyear Blimp to ground (NY)
123.0500 Common Blimp port
123.0750 Goodyear Blimp to NY Landing Area
123.2000 Landing site
123.2500 Goodyear Blimp Wingfoot Lake Facility, Suffield Ohio
123.3000 Flight Ops
123.4500 In-flight chat
132.0000 Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company channel
145.5500 Blimps 2-meter
151.5050 Goodyear Blimp
151.5125 Goodyear Blimp
151.6250 Goodyear Blimp (Airship Alpha 3) Ground crew to airship NBFM
151.6850 Goodyear Blimp to office
151.7000 Goodyear Blimp
151.7600 Goodyear Blimp
153.2900 Goodyear Blimp Liason
154.5275 Goodyear Blimp
158.4000 Goodyear Blimp
158.4075 Goodyear Blimp
158.4600 Goodyear Blimp
161.4000 Goodyear Blimp
161.6250 Itinerant Channel
161.6400 Goodyear Blimp
161.7000 Goodyear Blimp TV Network
161.7600 Goodyear Blimp
217.4500 Goodyear Blimp
250.8000 Goodyear Blimp to Pompano Beach Tower
450.8000 Goodyear Blimp Liason
451.8000 Goodyear Blimp
451.8125 Goodyear Blimp
456.8000 Goodyear Blimp
456.8125 Goodyear Blimp
461.8000 Goodyear Blimp
462.0500 Goodyear Blimp Airshow frequency
462.2250 Goodyear Blimp
462.2750 Goodyear Blimp
462.4250 Goodyear Blimp
463.0375 Metlife Blimp
463.7125 Metlife Blimp
464.0500 WIK-77
464.5000 Goodyear Blimp
464.5500 Fuji Blimp
464.5500 Goodyear Blimp
464.5750 Fuji Blimp
465.8875 Metlife Blimp
465.9125 Goodyear Blimp
465.9375 Goodyear Blimp
465.9625 Goodyear Blimp
466.0375 Metlife Blimp
469.5000 Goodyear Blimp
469.5500 Goodyear Blimp

One thing that this list implies (which I did not previously suspect) is
that the blimps have UHF radios (transmitting in the 200-MHz band).

> 151.6250 BUD ONE Blimp FM
> 161.6400 BUD ONE Blimp FM

These frequencies that I have for Bud One show up on the list as Goodyear
frequencies so the frequencies may be used in common.
