Undoubtly the ARRL Field Day (FD) is the most popular Amateur Radio activity in the US. Each year, thousands of US (and territories) stations participates on the FD. FD from KP4 becomes very challenging after sunset when 10m and 15 meters closes. During the nights, all we have is 20m and low bands, where US stations are geographically close and its very dificult to keep a QSO rate.  

On June 14th, 2011 and after 50 years of President Kennedy visit to Puerto Rico, President Obama arrived the Island at 11:30am. Airforce One was assigned an ILS RWY8 Approach.

After checking-in into San Juan International west Approach sector (119.4MHz), they were cleared direct WESEN, the Innitial Aproach Fix for ILS08. 8 NM from PATTY NDB, they were cleared for the Approach. Shortly after, they were handed off to Tower sector.

The following is the real audio of the approach sector as recorded from my IRRS ATC feed. Note spaces between communications were removed.
