Barely caught something on a 250 MHz freq, while mobile and band scanning. Checked ADSB Exchange and saw that Reach 165 had just crossed the lower peninsula, about midway. (Took me a few mins to check and post.)

Nice catch krokus.
This should be him. Flightradar24.com doesn't show the callsigns sometimes. Looks like he departed Bangor Maine & landed near Albuquerque NM.

250.250 was used by Alpena as a command post freq back in 2009 for an exercise. Also has been used as an A/A freq.

Does MUDDY use a VHF freq with CAP 3420 up there? Down this way they often use 123.100 or 126.200.

You might hear them on the Wauseon repeater; 148.1500/143.7000.

I tried 123.100, but no joy.
