Well did anyone here anything related to this NOTAM?

Nope. NNSS was quieter than usual. No unusual air traffic.

I figured it would be on some aviation frequency, but no idea which one. Can you have a CATF when you have a tower? Or maybe Nellis just puts an announcement on the ATIS.

Maybe they rescheduled:
LSV NELLIS AFB M0147/19 - DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) WATER DROP OPERATIONS IN PROGRESS BETWEEN THE DOE RAMP AND SUNRISE MOUNTAIN AT OR BELOW 3,500' MSL. DLY 1524-2359, 06 MAR 15:24 2019 UNTIL 07 MAR 23:59 2019. CREATED: 06 MAR 15:24 2019

One of these days someone will write a perl script to translate NOTAMS into English. So this one is daily. Start time is 7:24AM. Stop at 4PM. This is today (already happened) and on the 7th.

If they're operating near Sunrise Mtn, its possible I just cant hear them. My house tends to be a RF black hole.

I heard NRG32 on their base vhf 118.7 and some mention of water drop activity on the Nellis Trunking System. Not much though.
