1419EST GK249.800 Fighter indicating he saw a balloon at 320-370.....I,m asumming he meant 32,000-37,0000 feet
Mid-Atlantic (and beyond) MilAir 2025
- Thread starter BM82557
- Start date
Yes that would be correct...there are a few weather balloons out there...the bottom one was still above 94K but its parachute deployed so they saw it on the way down. Parachute would deploy at the gray symbol. Actually must have been the top one they saw...the bottom one is at 103382 ft at time noted (local EST).....the freq is 401.251 MHz FM

1450- Some ND ANG A-10s on 266.6 chatting about use of unid system on 228.1. Hearing digital encrypted bursts on 228.1. One of the acft having trouble receiving the digital signal.
Yeah hearing both clear and digital comms (RED and GREEN comms)....similar to what the F35s use when they are off the coast in the Warning Areas.

Would it be data/ telemetry on 401.451???
Justin - yes data (telemetry) on 401.251 for that balloon. There are several other frequencies uses by the sondes.
The data you see is transmitted directly from the sonde. Altitude (including max altitude reached), longitude and latitude, onboard battery voltage remaining, transmit frequency, outside air temp and the type of sonde that is transmitting the data.
here is the Graw DFM17

OT…the Smithsonian Channel has an hour-long program tonight at 8PM on the Antonov 124 aircraft, “the world’s largest serially-manufactured cargo plane”. Sorry for the late post…just noticed the listing. The same program time next week is about the Blue Angels.

Unknown source, lots of activity on 318.0, crypto / secure comms. In this area it could be anyone. From some posts on Jan 27, 2024, it's said to be AR/air refueling area E/CORONET Echo Primary, but from the strength and amount of activity I'm thinking it might be Navy. It's been very active all morning. In fact, it's active enough that I think, with it being encrypted, that I'm going to lock it out for now. Anyone in the area know anything about it?
