127.5000 is E10 High Desert TRACON 'Joshua Control', they oversee the airspace for all of R-2508 -- 319.0000 might be the Uniform side.


325.1000 is a well known R-2515 SPORT Range Control frequency... you sure you heard Joshua? Jester was using 351.3750 as a Mission freq on Monday, might want to plug that in for future listening.

Thanks for the clarification on 127.5. I thought I had seen it listed somewhere as "China Lake Advisory."

In regards to 325.1, they may have been calling Sport but I don't recall, there was a lot going on that day.

And thank you for the new frequency of 351.375, I'll have to plug that in and take a listen.
