I'm originally from Lubbock. What, or who, is lancer moa? I know most of the public service freqs for the Lubbock area.
Moa
A MOA is a military operations area. It's basically where military do training and other related operations. For more info on MOA's check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Operations_Area

Now that I know what an MOA is...what sort of activity would there be around Lubbock? Now that Reese AFB is no longer in operation, I wasn't aware of any particular activity, unless the National Guard does specific exercises around there.
To that end, here's something you might find interesting. Many years when I was going to Tech, I lived across the street from campus at what is now known as University Plaza (it was "College Inn" back then). My primary receiver was a Radio Shack Pro-2 receiver, which was dual-band hi-lo VHF, and could be tuned on both bands and had space for one highband xtal and one lowband.
That Christmas (1971 or '72) I brought the radio with me back to Midland for the holidays. Since my CB base station was still in Lubbock, I utilized my base antenna at home for the Pro-2. The lowband freqs were quite active in those days, and I enjoyed tuning the lowband part of the radio....and heard quite a bit of interesting stuff,too. But for some reason, I decided to tune the highband part of the radio. The skip on lowband had been heavy, so I decided to see if highband was as active. Sure'nuff, it was ! On the upper end of VHF high, around 170 mhz, if I remember correctly, I picked up some traffic from some war games that were going on at Parris Island in SC. That was very cool to listen to!

The Bronco MOAs are West, Northwest and Southwest of Lubbock. They are used by aircraft from Canon AFB and others.
The Lancer MOA is South, perhaps a bit Southeast of Lubbock is used by B-52 and B-1B. Maybe a B-2 has used it before.
It would be pretty unusual to see a Lancer flying low near Lubbock. Usually they are making a turn at high altitude just South of Lubbock. If you look south you can often see a turning Lancer leaving a contrail.
If you want to monitor Air-to-Air comms, scan from 138 to 144 MHz in 25 kHz steps in the AM mode.

John: There is a huge AF transport that flies into MAF weekly from Dyess to do touch and goes. In fact, I saw her flying around the airport on my way into work earlier this morning. Where would be a good place to look for their traffic?
