Road Trip Radio Report: Savannah to Titusville, 7 April 2021

Yesterday afternoon, I traveled down to Titusville, FL from Savannah to take my folks on a visit to the Merritt Island NWR. Even though we took their car instead of min, It was a great opportunity to do some monitoring down that way because I took along a handful of radios and used the BCD436HP with a mag-mount antenna to listen to MilCom on the way down. We stayed in a hotel overnight before visiting the Refuge today, so I used the radios in the hotel yesterday evening through this morning. There was a SpaceX launch yesterday at lunchtime, but unfortunately we weren’t leaving Savannah until around lunchtime and missed it. Here are yesterday’s logs for the trip down and last night at the hotel.

Temporary radio setup in the hotel room: TRX-1 for FedCom/MilCom land mobile, BCD436HP for MilAir, BCD325P2 for public safety, & the AnyTone AT-D878UV for 2m/70cm amateur radio.
