Back From Waddington

Attended the Waddington Air Show on Saturday. The Icom IC-R2 proved ideal as I could 'pocket' the radio and when used with a good earphone, I could hear everything perfectly well. The frequencies in use were as follows:

VHF air show tower: 132.9
VHF ground: 122.1

Military traffic tended to use the normal ground (342.125) and tower (370.125) frequencies at Waddington.

There was some traffic on 134.55 although I didn't monitor it much it seemed to be used as an 'ops' frequency.

Its always worth entering all six 'common' air show frequencies which I have listed in an earlier post into memory channels and scanning when at an air show.

Thanks for the Waddington Airshow frequencies!

As you say, it's always worth keeping the 6 common airshow frequencies in the scanner when going to airshows.

It's Flying Legends next weekend at Duxford. I think the frequencies may be 122.075 for the Tower and also 122.675 unless anyone knows different.
