Hello to all.
I have been monitoring Mil Air Frequencies for a while now and am perplexed as to why I hear so few comms.
I am using an SDRPlay RSPdx and an RSP1A and a Realistic PRO 2004. I have several antennas including a Tram 1411 discone. As for coax I use RG6 quad shield, and LMR 400.
I hear very little traffic on the Mil Air frequencies in this area.
I have heard, rarely, air refuling tankers, and some A10s during practice at Big Oaks and Hill Top.
However, I am not hearing ANY traffic from en-route aircraft. It seems that I should hear some traffic regarding approach, etc, especially from aircraft at 10,000 feet and above. I am situated about 70 to 80 miles from Indianapolis, Ft Wayne, Dayton, and Grissom ARB.
I can, regularly hear civilian approach tower at Indy, 67 miles from here.
I hear civilian comms all day long talking to Indy and surrounding airports.
I have the latest VHF, UHF frequencies with the proper AM FM mode settings.
? Any ideas or tips?
Thank you all.
