Just heard what sounded like JUICE-?290? id as single F-15

I believe he said "direct MXE" then couldn't make out the rest.

Ron's list shows: JUICE F-15 104th FG, MA ANG, Barnes ANGB MA

ATC Flow:

290.200 - ZNY Flint Hill, PA - Yardley sector​

307.025 - ZDC Leesburg, VA - Pinion sector​

1045 hrs -There's a Navy C-2A currently circling and doing touch-and-goes at Fentress NALF in Chesapeake, VA. He's squawking AE0464 which is the first time I've seen an aircraft at Fentress putting out signals. ADS-B shows the name RAWHD72 with reg 162149. Radio traffic is on 269.800.

10:00 MAKO and SHARK flights each 2 x F16 currently up in the Duke MOA. Typical 353.85 to enter and using 284.10 and 297.80 A2A.

Must be a pretty cool airshow going on in Port Allegany, PA based on the coordinates being passed along. If interested, you can convert coordinates at this website: Convert Coordinates by putting in the coordinates in the position box then hitting calc. This will give you latitude and longitude that you can use in google maps or earth. The map attached shows the mil grid. A target in the Duke MOA could be at 17TQG2557133159 would be in the vicinity of a True Value and Dollar General in Port Allegany, PA. Most of the time they leave off the 17T portion of the grid coordinate.

10:55 MAKO and SHARK flights are heading out of the DUKE.

Was anyone monitoring ZDC or ADW frequencies just a half hour ago? Fast TIS-B came into Andrews but I couldn't pick anything up myself.

1930 Local; I have been watching DeCee 23 for sometime now. They were to meet a P8 in AR777 but have been in a pattern over the Chesapeake Bay. Just heard them on Liberator ops 351.2000 seeing what they want them to do since they are having an APU issue. They just got cleared to continue until 2130 hrs.

0200Z - BEATRICE with message Z2HPPD of 39 characters on HFGCS simulcast. Operator said callsign as "BEAT RICE".

0205Z - Message repeated by BEATRICE, spoken like the name. Station appears to be using a digital link, as there is no carrier noise as there always is in the background of the net control stations.

0211Z - BEATRICE with message AS2QWF. Carrier noise is back.

0214Z - BEAT RICE with message ASWV2E. Message was cut off and seemed to glitch.
Digital link station now saying callsign as "BEAT RICE" with AS2QWF breaks over.

0216Z - BEATRICE with carrier noise breaks in over with message ASWV2E. Message is once again cut off halfway through.

0219Z - BEAT RICE with ASWV2E.

0229Z - BEATRICE repeating above, digital.

0230Z - BEAT RICE repeating above, analog.


Ever since the AN/PRC-160 test on 24 Jan, I've noticed a few EAM/FDMs simply cutting off in the middle of messages when there's none of the usual noise in the background.
