Someone came over 282.3 again. Handed off to ZBW 290.35

Someone on AR-20 secondary A/A 349.700 fading fast here

Someone on AR-20 secondary A/A 349.700

Hearing it now. The reception is getting stronger too. I have that as a VT ANG A/A channel (but I see on the list it also acts as you said, AR-20 secondary).

 

[Tech792]

349.7 is an old Bradley ops channel from years ago (A-10's)

 

[Tank67]

A little far from me, but I think someone just came over ZDC 281.45 in Atlantic City and said something to the effect of "direct Burlington"

Now picking up faint comms on 314.4.

Edit: Those comms are getting stronger. Again someone came over 282.3, flight of 4 non-standard I think? What is happening today?!!!!

Edit 2: Another flight indeed flew over going north. Could only see them by eye. Way too tiny and way too fast to find in the camera’s rangefinder.

Alaska time

1346- Unknown user working at the Warren Grove Range 283.1, intermittently showing on ADSB.
Sounds like A/A 294.725 possible NJ Devils.

Anyone picking up anything on 273.850? Barely broke squelch, but there was some definite chatter.

I've been listening but haven't heard anything. I show that frequency as VFA-211 squadron air-air out of Oceana NAS. That information is a couple of years old and originally came from Capitol Hill Monitors.

Line of KATT callsigns transiting NC headed northeast, KATT72 165975, KATT73 165974 and KATT74 165978 all TEX2 aircraft, hearing limited traffic with no callsigns on 230.175 (NCNG SAR freq).

DEPSECDEF going to AK tomorrow. Also, SecState is separating from POTUS and continuing to Papua New Guinea. I'd guess that Blinken will continue on FLOTUS' 98-0002 (she's returning with POTUS), and that Kath Hicks will travel on 99-0004 (which probably explains why the VEEP is stuck with a C-40 this weekend).

13:17 local heard a TIGER-51 flight dropping down in the area from 19k to 4k
and that was last I heard on UHF.Assume for McGuire airshow?

Wouldn't surprise me to see these units roof deployed around the DC area someday.
Guess those microwave bursts tend to fry computer chips and electric motors very well

The Air Force's new directed energy weapon is ready to blast drone swarms out of the sky

Zzzzzzzzap!

1625- FT07, a T-38 Talon out of Langley (68-08185) just landed at KWRI, may be airshow related. Never heard any comms on any of the tower freqs.

Off topic but ACARS has later a RCH-545 KC-46A #16-46020 going from Pease to LYPG Montenegro a recent NATO member.
Al Jazeera has nice article on what is going on in that Country.. A complex situation... East vs West.. Europe vs Russia..
Russian oligarchs park their yachts there

As the Ukraine war rages, Montenegro’s juggling act gets harder

Close historic ties with Russia and deep internal divisions are undermining a unified national stance on the conflict.
