ROMA 71 scooting up the coast splotchy comms on 391.0, already way past me on my fringe. Once again got up too late.

I monitored Atlantic City approach on LiveATC a few minutes ago (the archive file for 1700-1730UTC and 1730-1800UTC)

The radar controller was confused as well. When N47 came up on frequency for landing back at KACY, the controller asked them if they had two transponders on. N47 replied that they are doing a WHAM project and it requires the use of two active transponders. So you have N47 flying but showing as two aircraft (two separate active transponders).

Hope that helps. Could not find any information related to WHAM and FAA - although I found a bunch of unrelated stuff.
Could it have been WAM - ADS-B Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) ?

The first link has a video on it. Click on the three circles above video as well as the "Future Capabilites" icon under the video.


More info on WAM

That makes perfect sense- I just added the H and ended up going no where. Had the controllers asking questions so I don't feel too bad 🤪

Unknown aircraft (probaly a helo or V22) approached the KPHL traffic area at low altitude - departed Norfolk area and looks to be headed back to Pax River

That’s a MH-53E of HM-12 Sea Dragons. All their helos have the AE5D hex range.

293.3 - some interesting traffic from around 5p on yesterday. Much of it broken up from my car in Richmond. I have this as a DC Aircap freq, and there was some talk of a ground vehicle doing 75 (mph?) westbound. Did anybody else catch any of this?

73/Allen (N4JRI)
