On September 9th at 5:10AM PST at Palmdale Plant 42 I heard a B-21 preform a taxi test. It did a clockwise loop around Plant 42. I heard the radio comms on my Whistler 1040 on tower: 317.600.
B-21 taxi testing.

Hey KMPD! Did you hear a callsign for her? I live in Palmdale, maybe we could share some info.

Sadly no I didn't, at 5:10am the tower is closed. He just called out his actions in case somebody like another plane that wanted to land or something was listening. Also yeah sure we can share some details. I'll make a chat.

Darn, can't wait to hear her name. I've been scanning here in AV for many years. I have got a pretty good freq list. The "Orange Flag" exercise was going on in the complexes yesterday. Quite a bit of aerial refueling, did you catch any of the action? Are you hanging around Plant #42? I drive a red RAM truck.

Same, speaking of, I heard and took a picture of my first B-2 the other day. His call sign was very underwhelming, if I heard correctly his call sign was STANLEY 23? I thought it would have been a cooler call sign. Anyway, yeah I also have a really long frequency list, including a list of call signs from different aircraft. I've heard call signs from tons and tons of military/experimental aircraft. I got my Whistler 1040 a few months ago and since then there have been no F-35s or F-22 that fly by, besides the two that did one touch and go yesterday, but I wasn't at my radio to listen to them; so I don't have any call signs listed under that aircraft type. Also I didn't catch the call sign of the P-8 Poseidon that was doing touch and goes yesterday, did you catch it? Also what's the "Orange Flag" exercise, I wasn't listening to my radio all day yesterday. Sadly I'm unable to catch any areal refueling transmissions, I'm too far away from the refueling track over the mountains north of Edwards. I'm going to try and put up a D130 in my backyard on a 25ft mast hopefully in the next few weeks, so maybe I might be able to hear their coms. I have another friend on here who gave me multiple lists of frequencies to listen to for areal refueling, but I'm to far away to hear them with just my indoors desktop discone. Also yeah I live near Plant 42, I like to take pictures of cool aircraft if I see any that take off from there.
