Commonly heard Milair freqs in Tennessee

[CORN]

It is advised to have a good desktop radio (milair capable) and a good outside antenna as well as coax. My antenna is a Antenna Warehouse Scantenna mounted in the attic. My desktop radio is the ole vererable BC-780XLT. Very rare these days but can be found on ebay. Now the freqs:

All of these freqs have been confirmed by me over the years by either flyovers or regular transient traffic with ATC. I do have more but i won't list them unless i confirm them myself. If anyone's interested in this facinating hobby i hope these freqs helped out.

Awesome

WOW! Man, you must take extensive notes, you even jotted down the callsigns.

Hi Joe - I think I see your name quite frequently on the Milcom list. That's a pretty nice list of freqs you have there.

One note - and the Chief had mentioned this on his blog - the AR frequencies made several shifts in the last couple of weeks. Are those freqs up to date? You can look them up in the FLIPs.

This is a definite candidate for a wiki article. Very useful for other Tenn. monitors.

73s and thanx...Mike

Hey Mike,

Yeah all of my AR freqs are up to date as far as i know. The only one's that changed in this area are AR-633 and AR-315.

I am showing the new ones my list. However, i elected to keep the old freqs in my scanner as well (i didn't list those) because of all things this morning i heard ELVIS 31 calling SODA 81 on the old AR-633 primary 295.8 of course he recieved no answer.

Now if anyone wants the old ones AR-315 was 295.4 9 (pri) and 319.7 (sec)
AR-633 was 295.8 (pri) and not sure of old secondary. Like Mike said, these have changed and fortunately i was able to catch the changes (shown in the list). As far as i know all the other AR freqs listed have remained the same.

I forgot one thing. In the air to air freqs line for the Arkansas ANG (HAWG callsign) i have an asterick by the aircraft type. When those freqs were logged they were flying the F-16. They have recently switched to the A-10A Thunderbolt but i have heard they have stuck with the same freqs for comms.
