Super Bowl XLVI Monitoring Post

Here's a look at my hotel room monitoring command post near Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. I'm also monitoring from inside the secured areas of the stadium where I am working.


Radios include the GRE PSR-500 and PSR-600, PRO-96, Uniden 396XT and the Optocom black-box receiver. And additional PSR-600 and 396XT are working over in the office at the stadium. The PSR-600 and Optocom are set up to log frequencies while I am away from the hotel.

The CBP Office of Air and Marine (OAM) currently operates such airborne platforms along the nation’s land borders and maritime approaches.

Here is a link to the CBP posted information on what they are calling the Wide Area Aerial Surveillance System (WAASS):
