[FedCom] New antennas on the Secret Service suburban

[News1]

Chris, Roadrunner is still running in the pack (as it did this 
day).  Friends that are in the communication business say the antennas 
(large ones) appear to be 800/900 Mhz antennas like they use on their 
trunking systems.  Since the limo is now sporting several 800/900 elevated 
feed antennas my bet is this is a rolling cell site with a secure sat 
link.  This vehicle always runs within 2 or 3 cars of the limo as opposed 
to Roadrunner which is usually near the back of the pack with the ambulance 
and other utility vehicles.
