MUDDY 11 (2x F-16C, 180th FW) working in Buckeye MOA tonight. Lead has wingman switch to CONR-2 to attempt voice with Huntress. Encrypted comms follow on 294.325u (260.725d).

MUDDY 12 comes back up on aux 316.125 (Buckeye tac) and says he was unable to make contact. 11 calls Huntress on pri 228.900 and tells them they will discuss the SATCOM issue during debrief.

Great find! I had wondered what freq CONR-2 is.

So it appears we've identified 4 common use nets on Satcom

260.475 CONR-1 (NORAD - AFNORTH)
260.725 CONR-2 (NORAD)
261.575 CONR-3
265.250 401-Net (Counter Narcotics assets)

CONR-1 = NORAD
CONR-2 = EADS
CONR-3 = WADS

There may be nets for CANR and ANR as well.

Today I logged a station called HARD ROCK on 263.925 & they referred to it as CONR-3.
Have previously heard CONR-3 mentioned on 261.575.

Now the question... which one is it really?

Which bird was 263.925 coming from? UFO 6?

 

[brandon]

Yeah CONUS UFO-6 is where I was pointed

Just checked evening log and 261.575 the users (Aircraft 195 and Aircraft 198) referred to as "C SARSAT" or something like that.
Here is audio clip if your able to make it out better.

 

[brandon]

I think it's safe to say CONR-3 is 263.925
"Gray Knight 802, this is Habitat, CONR-3 radio check over"

 

[jsoergel]

261.575 appears to be mostly USAF rescue squadrons...so "CSAR sat" makes sense.

 

[fourthhorseman]

Are you using band specific sat antennas for RX?

I ask because im currently shopping the Trivec PORTABLE STYLES,,THE 2040 & 2055..

Just FYI, I heard & QSL'ed a HARD ROCK 32 on HF many years ago, and he was a USAF Combat Control Team member in Grenada during Operation URGENT FURY.
