Default Titan 4 launch prep comms begin at Canaveral

It is 11:24am EST (1624z) and range clearance activities have begun in
preparation for today's Titan 4 launch.
Weather One arrived from Orlando, entered the Restricted Zone at the Cape
a short while ago and has been transmitting cloud conditions to Range Weather
on the ground.
JOLLY 1, an HH-60G, launched from Patrick AFB and is also flying over the
Cape area. Likewise PATROL 1, and FAA security acft, departed Patrick for the
Cape area. Both of these acft are in contact with Cape Control on 133.8 now.
USCG freqs are also alive with launch-related comms, including 156.8,
157.1, and 157.175. Cape Security is advising personnel of the acft via
173.6875.
A short while ago, SAM 7010 arrived at Cape Canaveral AFS; this could be
related to the launch, or perhaps related to POTUS arrival tomorrow for the
Daytona 500 race.
If you are within range, my freq site, shown below, will give you some of
the best freqs to tune to.
