Advanced Tracking Techniques Re: [FedCom] Update: Unknown Frequencies

[gary]

The sbs is a lot of fun, but it depends who you want to track. Not every 
plane is reporting lat/lon. Most just report their callsign and squawk 
code. The military codes are not registered, so you need to sleuth them. 
Since only the heavies have mode-s, you can get the codes via HFDL. The 
FBI routinely lies about their code, typically using AAAAAA. The code 
shows up only when ROSS callsigns are heard.

If you play in the federal bands, I'm sure someone will be curious. Be 
sure your undies are clean, and pay your bills ahead of time.
