Sorry Terry was out to lunch.. I was only hearing the P-8A SCORE-04..
May have been talking to chopper and a ground station... I added that freq 254.750 as Pax discrete.
On way back in now Score-04 copied two stations one being female op but on way back into Bay area
953 comes on and says switch to local antennas so lost the other station.. Heard female again callsign DATA to 953.
Pax river busy with coms on 365.700,275.550 and of course 254.750

Someone coming Northeast to Southeast from ZNY 290.200 to ZDC 363.000>281.450 ZDC Sea Isle>ZDC 236.825 Snow Hill sounds like something-21.One pilot has maybe English accent. Drpped down near Cape Charles so Langley or Norfolk.

Must be warm temps and winds my scanners are getting overloaded with UHF hits.. Impossible to track them all.
So far from Pax river have 254.750,275.550,365.700,375.600,355.800 and others not sure on.Yak Yak Yak.

ROMA-83 coming South from Halifax at FL-250 dragging TREND-31 F-16's I assume to Andrews.

No worries - I am still recovering from dealing with COVID for the last 4 weeks. So not 100 percent working on all cylinderes.

The whole time the P8A was calling put the marks...I heard them talking to another stations. The P8A kept asking the other stations about if everyone was in the room and it sounded like a ground site for sure. Perhaps a relay (there was an unknown circling southeast of PAX -- not the helo - either that or conditions were such that we were hearing the ground site.
