1113L - visual on the OK ANG F-16s near Langley.
VADER-24 C-130 #92-3024 on dispatch with PPR request to Westover on 372.200 will need Med assistance for
12 pax who are with fever and nausea etc..all between ages 20 and 40 and gave phone 413-***-5573
Looks like they are landing there at KCEF.
They did slip by a T-Storm over Pennsylvania Mountains near Altoona .. Maybe got bumpy
Rare C-130 #595 out of Dover FAUS-95 from Uruguay.. Seems Dover is the go to spot for mil cargo these days.

Thanks for solving my mystery, Mark! I just finished going through my recordings from the past few days and got some A-A on 351.2 from the SDR. I couldn't figure out who the heck it was. It all makes sense now. I did a replay of ADSBx and found at 1034AM local, REACH 657 was almost directly over my house.
I didn't realize that I did not have their OPs freq already in my scanners, so I added it in since the DEECEEs come up here once in awhile too. Thank you!

RCH-820 C-17 #07-7175 departed KDOV for Cecil Airport KVQQ and turned around
stating alpha 3 on 134.100 for crew door seal broken and can't hold pressure and req tail swap upon return.
Dover told them to keep engines running upon landing so maybe a possible simple fix?
I never have heard a tail swap req for crew door seal..Main ramp door maybe but shouldn't be that hard to replace or fix.

Seems they did tail swap RCH-820 off again from Dover SW bound tail now #06-6168.
Guess it pays at times to have a spare tail or two in cases like this.

The following was posted on another list. In response to a question the HF EAM guru posted this info. Thought some of you might be interested in his response.
17.8 KHz - Atlantic (eastern)
22.7 KHz - Pacific
27.2 KHz - Gulf
31.7 KHz - Lake Superior
When to look/park for traffic? There have been two major NCS HF windows that feed traffic much of the readiness activity for TACAMO LANT and PAC. Recently, the HF transmission windows (when they happen) follow below.
2200z +/- 30 minutes or so: 30-character string in the series currently represented by the AA prefix.
0200z +/- 30 minutes or so: 30-character string as above.
The 2200z+/- broadcast allows the E6B 2-hour rebroadcast window to finish before the UTC new-day change at 0000z.
The 0200z+/- broadcast allows the E6B 2-hour rebroadcast window to finish before 10 P.M. local (Pacific time; 0500z).
The VLF broadcast often starts within 15 minutes to an hour after the initial NCS HF broadcast if it happens at all. Not all E6Bs are over water when the sessions begin; or, are in areas where they can deploy the wire(s).
The above also allows some of the E6B sorties out of Travis and Pax River earlier in the local day to perform an 8-9 hour mission and conduct two different sessions (using old day and new day callwords) before the end of the mission. Both sessions may produce VLF broadcasts of the different strings.
The 0200z+/- message traffic when conducted by TACAMO LANT is often hearable on 11175 on western European SDRs (such as UTwente); but, most potential listeners are asleep at the time. The VLF traffic is often around the 1st broadcast of the HF rebroadcast sessions.
The 31.7 KHz may be active when an E4B NAOC is in their sometimes monthly orbit over Lake Superior. It's rare. When it happens the transmission is usually not an EAM string, but rather the 888800 30-character connectivity strings. These missions happen mid-day CONUS, late afternoon Europe.
27.2 KHz (the Gulf frequency) has recently (in the past few months or so) seen little use. It was in use a day or so ago though. When it is used the sessions are often in the post 1700z time period. Because the sessions have become infrequent a HF transmission pattern is unknown. It's not clear why the Gulf sessions have become rare when compared to the frequent PAC and LANT sessions.
(And all the above is, as always, subject to change.)

That's interesting considering 04/22 is not used much, if at all, to my knowledge. The ill-fated RJ was initially planning on Runway 01 on the Mt Vernon arrival then was asked to sidestep over to 33. Runway 33/15 is routinely used for RJs and props. I don't recall hearing an aircraft landing or taking off on 04/22. (Not saying it doesn't happen, only I have not seen it ever.)
