As of this posting, it appears all of the Xenia hotels are booked up solid. But there are still some available around Dayton, but those are booking up fast aswell so if you are going….. book NOW.
I picked up a room at the Hampton inn Dayton mall for 169 a night and they have an indoor pool, good hot breakfast (sometimes bacon), free cookies at the front desk and its about 1 block (walking distance) from a Golden corral.
The hotel is between I75 and I 675. I’ve stayed here for several other years and its always a nice time, the pool is indoor and quite peaceful. I usually listen to 146.520 while on hotel property. Its about 15 miles from the fairgrounds.
Usually each year I post the traditional batlabs freqs, but its hit or miss whether there’s activity on them.
The most common freq I hear is the longtime use of 151.880, in recent years I have heard various modes, analog, P25,DMR,NXDN on it. The UHF freqs in the list are usually less common than 151.880 some years not hearing any Batlabs user on them.
Are there new common Batlabs freqs/modes in use now? Can you update this thread with more relevant Freqs and modes/codes as of 2017.
