I thought the link contained in this post was interesting --

Where would one search in the FCC database for ATC Xmiter locations?

Reason I ask is that I monitor the civilian and military guard frequencies 24/7 and sometimes when I hear ATC needing to wake up a sleeping pilot I check the computer in front of me running adsbexchange to see where the plane is at. Unbelievably, and more times than not, the radio transmission I...

Interesting that no civil ATC frequencies are listed for the ZQIE ARSR site in Gibbsboro. I will have to guess it is only for NORAD comms.

Wallops Island has Navy test missile/rocket launch this coming weekend... Few details.
Guess ship or ships offshore will be tracking it. Maybe last minute notam will surface.
Weekend Navy Training Launch Scheduled at Wallops

Odd AR-20 West Res overnight late tonight/early tomorrow seem like bomber numbers.
7/26 AR-20W 0515z-0900z FL-150-280 for night owls.
Couple Barksdale Buffs in Romania for a while so maybe they are returning or airshow Buffs?

Heard unknown-11 coms on ZNY Elmira 298.900.
Tracked all the way from the Med coming South thru Greece.

Guys; playing the recording back I'm pretty sure the call was Vex 11. Not positive on the spelling though.

0900L- Had 3 EMPIRE Blackhawks pass through central Monmouth County, NJ out of MacArthur AP on Long Island. Had a few hits on 45.0 but then A/A 36.3, I believe the airport has a base on the 45.0 and is used for A/G.

NOTAM posted today for KWRI McGuire/Dix/Lakehurst that got me wondering:

KWRI (starting) 2407311300 (until) 2408202100 (time) DLY 1300-2100 (for) OBST ERECTED: 50-FOOT-TALL ANTENNA GROUP OF 4 LOCATED AT 40°01'07N 74°36'50W

It sure reads like a new ARTCC RCAG site. Thoughts?

Room for improvement in Central Delaware/South Jersey. Last week an F-16 from A/C said he was doing local
routes testing VHF radio ops..
Maybe future digi NORAD site for CAP aircraft who complain between the AC and DC stations the signals are weak.
Thats quite a distance in high traffic area..

Here comes PUDGY-23 KC-46A #21-46092 over South Dakota headed for McGuire.
Only 1 more needed for their full 24 jets. Then they will prob load up Travis next.
