Military air comms

[cjrjr507]

Here's the frequencies I have for receiving the USAF refueling tankers out of fairchild AFB.
238.9000 refueling track AR-9A and 344.7000 refueling track AR-4a
Callsign: Husky 28 on 238.9000
Have secondary freqs too but need to find them first, will post them.
Have heard comms on other freqs too. 319.4000, 311.0000 and 321.000.
Heard a comm once on 282.6000 coming from over north dakota, AWACS and jets, signal very weak. If I find any more freqs. I will post them. Does anyone have any other frequencies in the mil comms for northwest montana?
My scanner is an BC890XLT
Have a website at freewebs.com/cjrjr507/ that lists the frequencies I have on my scanner. Newbie at that, still working on the website but it is up and running.

Now here's a state we don't hear too much from in the milair world! 311.0 is a common Command Post freq for many bases, perhaps Fairchild uses it too. The same for 321.0

There are a couple of sources of good information to help track down frequencies -

a. The first place to go would be the ARTCC UHF milair freqs. Montana seems to be largely covered by the Salt Lake ARTCC, with the Seattle ARTCC in the NW corner. Unfortunately our database doesn't have much for the Seattle site, but it looks like the Salt Lake site is covered. Stay away from the FAA ATA100 listings, as it's well known they are rather dated. Perhaps a quick note to the Washington state and Utah forums is in order

B. Most folks will go to the DoD FLIP site, and download the AP1 planning docs, the US IFR and VFR supplements and the AP1B military training routes. These are found at the very bottom of the pages as defined here...(the ARTCC link is also found here)

That should give you more than enough reference material to get you going. 73s and GL..Mike

Hi Ka3jjz !
I can't get ARTCC here in Libby, Mt. we are surrounded by mountains, elev. 2066 ft. I can hear the planes talking to them and that's it. Can't even get fairchild AFB from here, to far away, their freq. is 396.8000 and I did here a jet talking to them once. Now if I lived on a mountain peak then I could get them, ha ha. I picked up some comm's last night, a couple of pilots talking to each other but did not last long, they eventually faded. 319.4000

Hi
Found a frequency out of fairchild AFB; 293.7000; OPNS; operations. Heard planes approaching fairchild, came in good. plane callsign: stardot calling expo83 at 1305 hrs. cool! expo83 would be the fairchild OPNS dispatcher I believe.
