STICKY thread for Fed & MilAir MS

[KE5TLF]

Welcome back. I was starting to think this thread would never see any action again. I've gotten a lot deeper into MILAIR since this thread was started, but it's kinda boring talking to yourself. LOL

Hammer callsigns are generic callsigns that are used when working Shelby. Frequently T-45's from Pensacola, during daytime hours. Their comm card has 228.850 listed as "Shelby Primary"(preset 23). (271.225 is listed as Shelby Secondary(preset 24))

Another frequent use T-45 freq is 357.0 - TAC 4(preset 28). Sounds like the same controller/instructor as heard on the Shelby range too. Training Ops on this freq are not at Shelby though.

Hearing a unit on 408.0250 in P25. Sounds like a surveillance channel for an agency. Not a strong signal here.

[darrendotcom]

now hearing traffic on 407.7250 P25.

[KE5TLF]

HOBBY41 is up your way talking on the 126.8 Hattiesburg RCAG App/Dep freq. Said they would be turning back to the south in about 10 miles.
May want to scan the 403d WG 252.8 freq. too(edit: active just now)

AR101 (324.6) and AR302 (278.75) have finally become fairly active once again, after a long period of little use.

Aircrafts making bombing runs on 320.65. They mentioned Highway 29, so they are probably on the Camp Shelby Air to Ground ranges.
