Light comms here north of Charlotte in Cornelius. POTUS CAP must be well south of Columbia as I would have expected signals to be much stronger here. Been listening for a while and signals still are not far above breaking the squelch, mostly inaudible so not sure I'll much help on this one.

1130Z - NICE21 with Huntress 260.9 setting up CAP AR. NICE21 out of Charleston initially showed up on ADSB then dropped

1200Z - NICE 21 and Nobles (11,12) up with CAP on 260.9 and 231.625.

1230Z - Noble12 with Huntress chasing TOI with Huntress 260.9. Noble12 in comms with Huntress relaying to Noble11 (trying to find Noble A/A).

Forgot about the Aviano TREND-11,21 F-16's at Red Flag 24-1 Nellis from the Triple Nickels 555th FS.. They came
West with ROMA-61-63 71-73 tankers for Red Flag a few weeks ago.. Doh!

It appears most of the red flag players have moved over to several California bases for now. Not sure how long these exercises will run though!

If it the 93rd FS "Mackos" which have been the CAP Fighters over the past couple of weeks, they have been operating out of ACY, they use 376.1750 for A2A. If it is the Swamp Fox's the SC ANG they used 228.8000 the last time they were up here near Philly conducting the CAP

Nothing so far on either of those freqs. The Shaw/McEntire freqs are quiet and have been as far as I can tell and have been monitoring those for a few hours. I'm not really set up currently to be very frequency agile so it's hard to scan the band efficiently.

Looks like the fly by for Ravens game will have to really low level. Very cloudy, misty & low ceiling here.

For about the last 30-45 mins there's been a C-130J # 15-5775 using callsign Stalk 39 doing orbits at 2700ft over Baltimore. He came out of BWI.

STALK is the plane carrying the skydivers for the Ravens game. This weather is making me think the B-2 has canceled but we'll see in a few minutes.

Just heard Potomac (119.7) tell acft the runway 33 at Martin State is closed. Acft is stuck on the runway.

Think you're right about the B-2s. We should be hearing them by now.

Interesting. Looking at the coordinates, it looks like it's centered on or around Pier 12 of the Norfolk Naval Base, which is where aircraft carriers and other large ships are commonly found.
