Any luck with these freq's in NE Ohio???

Hello,

I was on the MT Milcom Blog of Larry VanHorn and noticed his part 1 and part 2 listing of nationwide milair freqs. Just curious to see what type of success people may have had with these the NE Ohio area. If you haven't seen the list, I have posted links below:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Hello Mark and all,

Your post has me chuckling Mark. After hundreds of columns/features, five monitoring books published (including two editions of my Grove Military Frequency Directory), 42 years full spectrum monitoring experience, and 23 years on job experience in the Navy I think you can trust what I put in print over anything you may see posted across the majority of the internet. Unlike others, this is my fulltime job with Monitoring Times and honestly, I do it quite well.

You can see more examples of my handy work on the best place on the net for military monitoring info -- the Milcom newsgroup.

Keep in mind that not all nationwide freqs will be active in all locations or any location on a regular basis. Some of my nationwides may only come up one or two times a year during an exercise in my area. Others are active on a regular basis. That is what is fun about milair monitoring, discovering new freqs active in your area. Your best weapon is your search button and multiple scanners.

Have fun good hunting and 73,

Larry

Larry - Hello. I'm very well aware of your expertise and long history covering this topic. My original question above was not meant to question your involvement or knowledge of milair monitoriing. I hope that you weren't offended.

Keep in mind that not all nationwide freqs will be active in all locations or any location on a regular basis. Some of my nationwides may only come up one or two times a year during an exercise in my area. Others are active on a regular basis.

Their were a few reasons that I posted my original question. First of all, I live in Cleveland Ohio. Relatively speaking, there isn't much milair here. We have some AR in the skies above. The closest bases are aproximately 2-3 hours away and the closest MOA is 3-4 hours away.

Second, as you can see from my listing of radios below, I only have 1 radio (a Uniden BC780) that handles UHF milair well. The 780 only has 500 channels and right now most of them are filled.

Overall, since milair isn't as prevelant here in NE Ohio and that I have a limited number of channels that I can program, I was just trying to see how active any of these frequencies may be.

Thanks for all that you do for our hobby!

Regards
