Both 307.700 and 302.150 were used at different times during practice
during week of 4-19-94. Either might be used in the actual shows, or both
might.  Note that not all frequencies are used at every airshow, there are
a lot of "alternate" channels, to avoid local users on a given channel.
Also, during practice, channel usage does NOT conform to actual airshow
usage - for instance, 263.350 may be used as air to air, instead of just
for calling the mechs on the ground to request repairs on landing.

* = Heard in San Diego at Blue Angel shows - Confirmed.
