1037-(LIBERATOR?**) on 351.2 asking for a phone number for a satcom call.

** assuming it's LIBERATOR as a couple of calls at 1046 on 351.2 sounded like the same operator.

Are you shooting freehand or off a tripod?

I have a tripod with gimbal head but to be honest, the image stabilization of this modern gear is so good 90% is grabbed freehand.

 

[frank3si]

I'd also recommend MPB and KEH.

Yes, I too have used MPB with great results.

0345 ROMA-93 #18-46054 off Pease meeting whoever up North filed to EGUN.
0400 local ROMA-92 #63-8872 off Bangor.

This was back on Feb 16 had ROMA tankers in our area.
Report says were HILL AFB F-35's to TDY in UK...
The other day ROMA-94 KC-10 #86-0028 Travis to EGUN and is taxing now over there this morning.
ACARS has ROMA-94 tanker going to McGuire today so they may pass back thru here later today.
Maybe the F-35's will drop into Vermont or farther South to avoid snowy wx up North.

A Buff or two off Moron this morning headed up thru UK callsign NOBLE-21.
Imagine a Buff doing CAP duty around here LOL.
