Listening to Boston Ctr feed sounded like EXULT 11 at 0325z says circling waiting for tanker at AR20 blocking 240-280.
Only heard the one..

Yeah, the callsign is up for interpretation.
Definitely 3 but only 1 will be taking fuel (explains why only one tanker I guess).
Sounds like they are at the IP (0340Z) and checking in on AR primary 341.750

Rgr that also due to 8 limited character digits in mode s they usually keep it
5 letters or less plus the numeric digits and spaces for total 8 max
example EXULT 11 =8 total digits.
Got to crash now..keep me updated.. Thanks..

For those using PlanePlotter, I have updated the Google maps with data from June 4th, 2014.
You can access it here: https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zcgDx8DQ_SVU.kNCwVt6r1sRo
Looks like we have a new station (Pf) located near Lunenburg. Hope he joins in this forum.

Yes - he's monitoring the forum :)

I'm usually based in Edmonton, but am out here for a couple of weeks. Actually just 1 week more now. But what fun would a vacation without a laptop and dongle be???

Unfortunately I don't have much Antenna with me - so the RTL stick is hooked up to an 800MHz radio shack duck I picked up in Maine a couple of years ago.

Hoping to see some mil action and contribute to MLAT while here. However my GS/MU status in PP has not been confirmed yet. Just upgraded to dump1090 and request GS/MU again.

So, for my remaining radio with a rubber duck, what freq's are most recommended for AR20? I've got the PRI programmed in, but haven't heard anything on UHF at all :-(
Which Boston freq is best to monitor?
