Near Basecamp, I heard a weak signal with a tone on it at 262.4AM and a telemtry channel at 137.435NFM

In the Cedar pass area, I heard similar telemtry on
138.12NFM
137.195NFM
137.435NFM
137.710NFM

While parked at the gate leading towards Groom from Cedar Pass (i.e. where you are supposed to announce yourself with the code word "cactus" on the "foxnet" before opening the gate), I heard lots of 400MHZ stuff. All channels had either DES scrambling or data except one as noted below.

407.475
407.525
407.325 [This channel had what I swear was a page: "Carla Smith, call the housing office." If the name was more unique, you would bet I'd be checking the Las Vegas white pages to see if the name matched.]
407.275
409.350
409.650
410.150
407.975
407.150
406.550
407.250

I also heard telemtry at 416.5375 and 416.6375NFM

At the TTR I heard more of this telemtry on the following freqs:
416.5125NFM
416.5375NFM
416.5625NFM
416.5875NFM
416.6375NFM
416.6875NFM
416.7375NFM
416.7975NFM
413.950NFM had an occasional tone on it, i.e. not continuous.

I heard a trunked radio system at the TTR similar to what I heard at the Cedar Pass Cactus gate:
406.550NFM
407.275NFM
407.50NFM
409.350NFM

More telem can be heard around the TTR at
137.66NFM
137.705NFM
137.735NFM
138.125NFM

You can hear the airfield info for the TTR at 113MHZ, though it is anounced as "S1". This is not listed at www.airnav.com, but the message was clearly for the military.

I caught the TTR VORTAC at 117.2MHZ, which is confirmed on airnav.com

No vortac was detected at Basecamp.
