Interesting thread! Although I'm slightly OT - what is the current
designation of the Presidential Limo when the Commander and Chief is aboard?

Surely, it's no longer the SFX100, (poor memory) or one of those Kennedy
years callsigns? Also, from the pix I've seen of Presidential Motorcades,
there are tons of big, black Chevy Blazers doing escort and the Prez Limo
itself seems to have few antennas. Again, I'm only going from memory - but
has anyone heard a 'sitting' President or support crew tx'ing from the
actual limo?

During some G-4 conferences here in Canada, I've been told some CSIS and SS
comms have been heard. But, nothing 'heavy', just things like: "Position of
#1 is secure"...or "Escort #2, reply on channel 3". (Of course, channel "3"
was encrypted and unlistenable) A good thing considering our recent history
of terrorism.

Anyway, just wondering...

Just wanted to say something about the limo part. My sister drove a limo
for Bush in Columbus Ohio once and it was a rented limo. I would imagine
that those antennas didnt really have anything to do with the SS. Its
kinda cool having a picture of your sis with the "THE MAN"
