IFBs on 450 made for great listening.  I didn't actively look for any
drivers, though.  I figured most would be scrambled and the rest would
be speaking some language I don't understand.  ;-)

My brief scan through UHF turned up tons of F1 activity and numerous
scrambled radios.  I noticed various MPT1327 control channels throughout
450-460 MHz.  I didn't bother to try to associate any of the voice
transmitters with control channels since I don't have MPT1327 trunking
software.  They surely belonged to the large European media outlets. 

PMR446 band (European unlicensed service on 446 MHz) was packed with
people.  They were barely copiable even just outside the track.

And, that blasted Australian MPT1327 trunked system wasn't blanketing
440-450 MHz this year.  Yay!
