I just heard on 267.000 "2-1 is alpha Cleveland, 2-2 is alpha Cleveland"? it was very brief.. what was that?

[brandon]

Sounds like legit milcomms, but I am not sure of 267.000 or do you mean 267.050?

[Tryton]

Yeah, im sure.. it was wierd

There's also terrestrial military aviation traffic in the same band (mostly, but not exclusively, in AM mode).

While scanning the mil band, I've caught legit mil coms in the Cleveland area before (sometime last year).
I usually search in NFM mode, stop on any noise, and swap mods to verify traffic.

I heard aerial refueling the one night for quite some time.
Also, on my way home from work one day, I saw a black hawk helo to the west of 71, real low.
I hurried home, scanned the band and actually picked up a brief convo (AM mod).
