      Goodyear Blimps

      Chris Parris, the writer of the Fed Files Column for Monitoring Times, was kind enough to pass along some frequencies for the Goodyear blimps. Chris was working on the blimp during the coverage of the All Star game.

      Ch. 1 - 451.800 - PL 151.4 - Max 35 watts
      Ch. 2 - 451.8125 - PL 151.4 - Max 2 watts
      Ch. 3 - 456.800 - PL 151.4 - Max 35 watts
      Ch. 4 - 456.8125 - PL 151.4 - Max 2 watts
      Ch. 5 - 464.500 - PL 151.4 - Max 35 watts
      Ch. 6 - 464.550 - PL 151.4 - Max 35 watts
      Ch. 7 - 469.500 - PL 151.4 - Max 2 watts
      Ch. 8 - 469.550 - PL 151.4 - Max 2 Watts

      It is noted that they use an Icom F40LT. The radio has three power settings, 1 watt, 2 1/2 watts, and 5 watts. They are to use the lowest setting that will complete communication.

      Call sign is WPPH287. It was noted that there was not a VHF - High band radio on the blimp. They were not using the VHF-High frequencies that I have heard before for ground comms. I will list the VHF freqs licensed to Goodyear under this callsign, but there was no sign of them using these at this event.

      27.490 - 35 Watts
      35.040 - 35 Watts
      43.040 - 35 Watts
      151.505 - 35 Watts
      151.5125 - 35 Watts
      151.625 - 35 Watts
      151.700 - 35 Watts
      151.760 - 35 Watts
      154.5275 - 35 Watts
      158.400 - 35 Watts
      158.4075 - 35 Watts

      Also listed were the air to ground microwave freqs, but it is noted that they are now sending an ASI compressed digital video stream that can not be received by receivers like an Icom R3.

      Thanks again to Chris Parris.
