Looks good. I'd throw in the ATC UHF frequencies, as long as you can't hear the controller. If the scanner speed is fast and not an issue I'd throw in 121.500 and 255.400 (FSS, just to see if its used). Is it worth monitoring the SATCOM frequencies ?

Here is the actual route plotted on SkyVector. Seem to be avoiding flying over Mexico ?
First time I've ever seen a flight operate through what I call "No-Man's Land" (no FIR).

Most times the controllers don’t smilcast UHF/VHF they usually monitor both but only use UHF if someone else is talking on it.
The UHF ATC frequencies are already in there but Philadelphia does not turn off the UHF - so you will always hear the controller even if he is talking to aircraft on the VHF side. 121.500 is already in there, no need for 255.400 since there is no real use locally......Philadelphia controls the airspace. Down here at the beach it is more active with the VR route that passes by the area. SATCOM frequencies are already there as well,
The radio is an SDS200 so I guess it just depends on the delay I have set in the channels.
Thanks. watching ASBX over time the US Military rarely ever crosses Mexico airspace unless invited like a Potus visit.
They seem to get the Cuba treatment or vice versa as regular pax airlines no problem but like US Mil flights to Guantanamo no can do.
Couple weeks ago watched Canforce1 fly direct over Cuba on way home but you won't see US Mil do that.

If you are talking about Philly - that is not the case. I am monitoring it now......319.150 and 317.55 are active and they are talking to aircraft on the VHF side.....additonally sectors are combined at the moment so I hear the same controller on both freqs. Actually one controller is handling all approach and departure activity
Not from what I've heard. Lots of times I have heard controllers working UHF traffic transmitting on VHF. Sometimes even cross-coupled so you hear the aircraft on UHF transmitting on VHF as well. Any particular ATC facility or sector you are talking about ?
But had Castro been a better pitcher - he might have signed a contract and played for a major league team......oh well he should have practiced more.
Never saw a Key West Mil flight to Southern California over Mexico 
Cuba paradise sure has lots of boat people trying to get to Florida USA..Hmm. Just watch Coast Guard pages
Even more interesting is the process used by Washington Center for the remote sites at Kenton Delaware RCAG and the Sea Isle site.
Sea Isle VHF Transmits on 127.700 but you can hear the aircraft transmitting on 132.05 which is the Kenton frequency on 127.700 with the same volume as the controller. So the 132.05 activity is heard on 127.700
If you listen to the Kenton site on VHF - you hear the aircraft on 127.700 at the same volume as the controller on 132.05.
So basically VHF wise 127.700 is simulcast on 132.05 and vis a versa. And to answer the question - yes with the antenna height / line of site to horizon I can hear both remote sites.

Yeah used to have a friend who would go down there on business just to be involved in the blue light specials.
Baltimore folk...schedule is in my post above (Post 1123) for tomorrow's trip.

I noticed that they had their external tanks on.
Frequency cross-coupling, common with many ZDC sectors when combined. My understanding is the FAA system can only couple one other VHF frequency at a time. Up here in Canada they can do multiple frequencies at once. Although I have heard other ZDC sectors cross-couple in at least one UHF frequency with the 2 VHF frequencies.
Yeah I monitor Moncton on LiveATC a lot for transatlantic traffic.
They departed Atlantic City just after 14:00 EST and initially held in the SABRE Airspace. Then went back to tower,,,,,,about 10 minutes later they were back on with radar headed to SABRE HIGH airspace. Devil 11 flight then took IFR clearance to CEDAR LAKE and then inbound to a fix near the airport. Flight never went above 4 K in transit. ACY Radar 327.125 then to PHL Radar on 273.575
