[FedCom] re: CAP OPSEC

[Ken]

Yes, but this list goes into hibernation at times & we do have to talk about 
something!!! ;) :)   Everyone has opinions...  Surely there's a possibility 
that some on the list who have some sort of vendetta etc against CAP... 
Others just like to chime in because that's what they ALWAYS do.

Federal (and military) frequencies in use & their specific usage are 
primarily verified by active on the air scanner radio monitoring & using the 
scanner in the "search mode".   For the most part  finding CAP's frequencies 
in use (and their specific purpose) will be a challenge BUT will not be not 
be impossible. (and for those willing to perform the "advanced" internet 
research, they will actually find the frequencies that CAP will be using).

Even with CAP use of DEA encryption radios or in the future potentially the 
use of DHS encryption radios, a signal is still available.  Those of us as 
part of the "Holy Wise men (and women)" of Fedcom monitoring, using 
"advanced" radio monitoring skills should still be able to figure out quite 
a bit.

Regarding "Operational Security", NO ONE on this list will defeat it. 
However, overall there's ALWAYS going to be someone on a radio system that 
will make an error, broadcasting that little bit of information that will 
help solve the puzzle.  Occurs MOST of the time.  That's the way it is....
