I aim to please.

Notes from today. Nothing new frequency-wise to report. Com Cart reported to the Tower that the Airboss was "frickin' clueless" to use her words. Bert was slightly delayed because of engine problems which meant some extra effort was needed to keep the Patriots clear. Apparently the airboss' efforts fell short.

Additionally, one of the jets from the delta had troubles and had to return to Boeing Field mid-show. There was an attempt to get the pilot into the backup and back into the show but it never happened.

Coast Guard helicopter 6030 and 6591 A/A 345.0 over Seattle, also on Lake Union traffic 122.9.
Friday 7:15 pm.

They have been buzzing my house here in Monroe for the last 45 min's

Im guessing my house ( really Im guessing Haystack Mtn) is a marker/stage area.

Only thing new today was 469.0375 - another seafiair admin ch. Close call also got 461.7 pl136.5, but the freq doesn't look like it fits at all and I can't remember what I heard. There was a bit of air to air on 284.25 - which was already in my seafaif bank from last year.

I locked 461.700 out early on in the day Saturday, it sounded like a construction or trucking firm.

One boat was using 151.625 for info from a cherry picker in the pits to the hydro driver. I only heard it one race so it may have been a limitted race. From listening and watching today (my first from the pits since I was 13 - I worked for UPI calling in qualifying times to the office) it's clear that the majority of 'offical' boats helping out were all dispatched on CB as all the admin (uhf) people had no way of direct communications and cb band was very busy - and locked out. The only marine VHF traffic was all CG/marine law involved.
