[FedCom] Kentucky Derby Fedcom

[Chris Parris]

I never would have guessed that there would have been much federal activi=
ty
to monitor at an event like the Kentucky Derby, but this last week in
Louisville proved me wrong. Most interesting what what appeared to be a
joint local/federal repeater setup on 167.5625 and 453.575 MHz. Heard
several mentions of federal officers on some local dispatch channels. I
don't know if there were some VIP's at the Derby that required federal
protection, but very well could have been...

Here's what I picked up while searching;

to escort some folks to airport FBO after Derby for flight.
163.8375, 167.9pl - Some DES, some clear voice. Definitly some activity a=
t
