I think that’s was TROY171, but they were just flying around what what I could tell. Surprised they came up on discrete.

Have you guys seen this
ADS-B Exchange, larged unfiltered tracking network, sold to private equity firm
https://www.jetnet.com/news/jetnet-acqu ... hange.html
The site owner has sold out (to the tune of $8m apparently) without consulting the unpaid volunteers who host, maintain and develop the website. The latter are now effectively trapped supporting something, for free, that one guy got paid out for.
After a bit of a meltdown on the official Discord yesterday, their advice now is to stop feeding ADS-B Exchange if you do so. Feeding has gone from being involved in a community project to lining the pockets of VCs. Personally this was reason enough for me to stop feeding. Over the last 30 or so hours their network of feeders has dropped from around 11k to 9k, and is still dropping.
Hopefully a new, free and open source, replacement will appear in due course with all the benefits of ADS-B Exchange.

We've been talking about it for three days, the new free replacement has already been created and in only 24 hours carries 25% of the traffic ADSB ex does, feeders are leaving and joining ADSB-FI
ADSB Exchange SOLD
ADSB Exchange SOLD! JETNET, a leading provider of aviation data and market intelligence, announced today that it acquired ADS-B Exchange, one of the world’s largest networks of ADS-B/Mode S/MLAT feeders and providers of real-time and historical flight data...

I see they have split up SCOTR 1-2. Any idea what they may be up to from the A-A chatter ? Clearance on the ground was back to KPSM. SCOOTER is a new PSM callsign for me. Maybe a 1 time thing for a special mission ?

NOTAM today for 139.4 PTD and METRO at DAA [Davison Army Airfield]: out to service until 7PM on January 30.
And I've long had a hard time when looking at NOTAMs and the NFDD...and in this forum...when restricted areas are mentioned by number only. ["R#### -- is that Warren Grove, or is that Indiantown Gap?"] So I've done some formatting from the latest AP/1A for areas within our listening areas, and came up with this attachment. Hope it's useful.

Unfortunately negative. The AA sounded like practice refueling. “Contact” “clear contact“
Approx 10 minutes after SCOTR’s split up I got a hit on 274.45 (AR218?)and SCOTR2 was mentioned. I only caught part of the transmission and nothing else was said.
Okay thanks. Sounds like routine stuff. Maybe a new callsign for them ?

"I know you're operational and I don't mean to bother you, but Potomac asked us to reach out to you directly to de conflict. What altitude are you at?
55
Okay, we're just south of you, and you have the priority, so we'll bug out. Happy hunting."
Just curious, is Baltimore now in Virginia?
