Barkeater is a Fort Drum Range Control callsign, I'm guessing FEAR 11 is a B-52. 255.400 is a USAF common frequency used for Flight Service nationwide or also used to announce intentions when entering IR/VR routes, I've never heard Barkeater use it. Barkeater normally uses 244.500 to coordinate entry/exit at the Fort Drum Range and 226.900 is usually used once on the Range. Did you get anything on 244.500 or 226.900 by any chance ?

This is the AR609 (Viper South area) AR prime frequency. The Tanker heard was DECEE 11.

I seem to recall something about 255.400 being phased out as a Flight Service frequency but they were still using it as a sort of USAF common advisory frequency ?

This is the first time I have picked up anything on these two frequencies.

Saint, another Minot Buff CHILL 22 working the Range today, looks like heading your way. Do you monitor UHF ATC frequencies ?

No, I don't monitor the ATC frequencies, but I should start doing it, I'll have to make a list of the ATC frequencies I should listen to in my area and get a lot more information on the aircraft.

Was just at Ft Drum Tuesday 17 Sep and 244.500 was active. B52, two apaches and two F18’s were active that day.
