CAN-US forces question

[Haley]

While monitoring 11.232 USB today caught OTIS 83 call Trenton Military for a radio check, Trenton answered , but OTIS 83 did not reply . Then Trenton proceeded (several times) to ask what sector are you in, and do you see any landmarks. Trenton then ,asked are you in sector 5 OTIS 83 ,still no reply.Then REBEL 39 asked for a radio check , and got it from Trenton , I never heard REBEL 39 again either. Now I know the OTIS call signs are C130s, and the REBEL call sign is either an F15, F16, or F22 (must be a popular one), according to the lists I have. My questions, is this normal?? Anyone know if their might be some type of exercise? And should I even post this type of information? Thanks for any help, Mike

Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE has been going on for most of the month at CFB Wainwright in northeastern Alberta, involving Canforce, US Army, USMC, and a UK infantry company.

I don't believe USAF fighters have HF capabilities.

REBEL can also be UK Jaguars or Tornados according to this document: The Guide's Internet Callsign list - Split - R - Page: 5

Maple Flag is wrapping up on Monday. NATO and Allied forces A/A & A/G training so it may be related.

Thank you for the information! I kind of monitor "old school style" I guess. Just standing in my yard with a portable, I REALLY need to start recording some of this stuff.

NIRGR, I know that was the call sign, but I may be wrong on what it is-----he was an American for sure. Those were all I had, I will keep looking around the net. And thank you , I did not know that about fighters!

Jay911, your REBEL call sign would make more sense to me, but like I said, he was American for sure, could a Canadien pilot be flying an RAF jet? And thank you for the exercise info! Mike

Kayn1n32008, I am sure you and Jay911 are right. It was quite busy yesterday also. I posted a different thread about Trenton military. I am sure it may have been related in hindsight. Mike
