The FAA maintained that radar, instead of my shop, when I was stationed there, as it was the backup radar for PHL. I presume it still is.Today I went by the Old NAS Willow Grove, Joint Reserve Base now Bittle ANG Base. I was on the Horsham roadside of the base, and I was surprised to see the Radar still there and spinning.
Any thoughts from anyone why it would still be in operation? They operate drones remotely so is there a need for it to be operational?

I'll send you some Cherry Point freqs via PMI'm heading down to NC between Lejeune and Cherry Point this weekend and I'm planning on bringing my scanner and a base antenna. Does anyone have any frequency recommendations, things to look out for, or spotting recommendations?
