If Command Post even had that ability. Been hear since 2012 and can hear Dover CP most of the time (the ground side) and never heard Green comms from them.
Yeah Green normally associated with ACC operators like Langley F-22's not AMC CP :)
He asked CP did they hear the beep? and I couldn't hear their reply but apparently negative.

Heard Darkstar callsign also tonight on W-386 range freq 350.050 in the Red.. LOL
Also hearing 292.300 in the Green. You can just hear that prefix digi squelch tone before the static encrypted coms start.
That short digi prefix tone tells equipped radios you are in the Green.. Langley F-22 folks using more Green Coms these days.
AWACS NOVA-02 #80-0137 coming East from Tinker to the Va Capes.
Heard flight of 4 count off A/A 228.450 Langley F-22 27th FS a couple of times.
Sunspot UHF atmospherics are good tonight.

Radio is pretty busy! E-3 in a racetrack orbit just to the west of Newport News and Hampton. Heard a radio check in the clear on 292.3, indicating they were going green, I think it was probably a couple of F-22s. Heard air intercept calls, (group, bearing bullseye, etc) on 379.1 and hearing encrypted comms pretty steadily. Since I got online and have been writing this, sounds like it's died down some. Just thought a heads-up might be in order. Sorry not more details, was listening as I was waking up from a nap! Lol!

yeah sounds like AWACS passing traffic in the clear on 350.050 and 373.100 and then fighters are air to air with secure comms on 292.300

2022L - Copied DARKSTAR giving intercept BRAA readouts to ROGUE, LINKS callsigns. I hear more when the E-3 is on the southern portion of its orbit.

2029L - DARKSTAR to all players making callouts. "Knock it off!"

Any other FACSFAC frequencies in use?

Flightaware has departure from Kansas City at 06:00AM EST 1100z Monday to Lajes.
That sounds like typical RAF F-35B delivery stop.
This flight plan to Lajes obviously scratched yesterday and now refiled today direct RAF Brize at FL 33k.
Guess the possible F-35B delivery has been cancelled for now.

Rerouting and rescheduling likely for European milair flights...depending on how well equipped the bases are for snow removal. I'm seeing only the civilian side, with a friend and a relative trying to get into Munich from Dulles. Munich got 1.5 feet of snow and flights have been shut down for over a day. Reopened at noon local today. The United 767 from KIAD to Munich last night got to the Labrador/Newfoundland area and RTB to Dulles.

292.300 - GK W386 Langley discrete
350.050 - GK Common

1900 - Heard unidentified chatter on 254.7, with a callsign that sounded like “Training 1-1”. Mentioned a building number and reading out some numbers like “3 by 54” “2 by 31”.

1940 - AWACS E-3 NOVA02 setting up shop over Southampton and Suffolk VA. Anyone has any frequencies?

Edit 1947: heard DARKSTAR on 350.050.
P-8 Poseidon flying auto orbit at FL015 over Dam Neck, possibly related to the traffic last night over 254.7 as an exercise.
