Milair 2026

[nodak1crdet3]

I had some weak signals on 150.150 (DoD Air Operations/Air-Air: Nationwide) this morning between roughly 10:40am to 11:05am CDT. I don't think I'll be able to pull out any IDs but wanted to mention this in case others want to keep an ear on the freq for further activity.

That's also the half image of 300.300 😀. Was the 150.150 in AM mode?

Chuck, yes, it was AM mode. I'll check if I have 300.300 in my favorites list. If not, I'll consider adding it. Thanks for the idea, I hadn't even thought of that possibility.

GATOR 61 cleared for an unrestricted climb out to 17,000ft a few minutes ago. Others are getting the same kind of clearances.

Did anybody that went to sentry north today end up getting the frequencies some of the pilots were speaking on? My buddy went today but he could only hear the tower talking. Thanks.

Monday 6/1
10:06am CDT 346.525 Sounded like "something SALT" checking in. SALT could be (F-16CM 122nd FW/163rd FS ANG Ft Wayne IN)
10:09am CDT 346.525 Sounded like GRUNT (F-35 115th FW Madison WI) checking in.

My signals in town seem weak today. I hope to check my scanner recordings at the lake tomorrow sometime.

I'm listening to KVOK twr on LiveATC.net from Detroit. 😀 Tower has an echo in it on UHF.

If UHF doesn't sound better tomorrow morning when they test / launch, please feel free to DM.

Not much readable this Tues. 6/2 morning, had FANG 1 loud/clear trying to check in on 358.800 Hardwood Range channel around 10:10am CDT, then requesting radio check.

Otherwise, heard earlier activity on 346.525 but very weak. I need to check other freqs listed yesterday and today to see if I have them. Also get out to the lake and check that scanner's recordings.

Was eyeing up that DPD Prod. Miltenna Omni UHF/VHF again last night...

 

[BrightAntenna]

I programmed in the freqs I didn't have in my favorites (which were many) AND I turned off the SDS 200 "normal" bandpass filter for my UHF milair list. Wow, what a difference. Not sure if this afternoon was busier, or if I'm just hearing it now.

Tues. 6/2
2:22pm CDT 255.700 GRADY 26 (GRADY F-15C/D 2nd TFTS Tyndall AFB FL or possibly GRADY T-38 7th FTS Joint Base Langley-Eustis)
3:03pm CDT 281.250 EPIC 2
3:24pm CDT 281.250 JOKER (probably F-16CM 122nd FW/163rd FS IN ANG Ft Wayne IN) calling MIG 2 (probably F-16 414th CTS, Nellis AFB, NV)
3:27pm CDT 255.700 PRIMUS (probably F-35A, 58th FS Eglin AFB FL)

I could pull more out with more time to review recordings. Interesting to see what tomorrow brings.
