Nothing so far today, heard my squelch break once with noise/unreadable tfc...hopefully the scanner at the lake will have something more when I get to check...

369.15, have as "5BW A-A/interplane", some brief chat here with o2 mask audio, (a/c possibly 2 ship B-52 flight).
Good signal received while mobile on SDS150 with roof mounted antenna. Must've been close. Also, had them on Icom IC-R8600 recordings at home when checked later.

Tnx to user autovon, I found their post from May that had been posted previously but forgot about it, freq is not in RR DB for ZMP Green Bay, WI RCAGs.
Tnx Richard, a freq to keep programmed in the rigs here for sure.
Re: "335.55, unknown RCAG" likely is (based on WARBIRD 01's possible Westbound flight path):
335.55, ZMP Green Bay, WI (West adjacent to 336.4 ZMP Alpena/Pellston, MI).
Found it on FAA Enroute High Chart ENR_H02.pdf at:

I did catch some of the 115th FW activities yesterday 7/4 on the radio at the lake, same freqs that bcast reported. First (brief) transmission I caught was around 11:10-11:15am CDT on 363.350. No ID but almost certainly one of the BADGER/BUCKY F-35s.
2:19pm CDT 238.200 BUCKY 21 possibly RTB after flyover mission complete. "Ops, BUCKY 21 will be down in about 7 mikes."
3:13pm - 3:23pm CDT 363.350 suspect BADGER group A/A enroute not sure where because no flyovers were scheduled near this time.
6:25pm - 7:10pm CDT 363.350 frequent (40+ transmissions) A/A comms with periodic 238.200 Ops comms sprinkled in.

F-16 Demo team out of Shaw AFB SC. They were at the Willow Run show Friday, Saturday, & Sunday.

Thanks Chuck! Just had a chance to review the recording(s). I didn't catch any IDs, the best I could do was copy something like "That's how that Alabama thing..." and the rest wasn't clear enough for me to copy. Seems I caught them between about 10:42am and 10:49am CDT based on the recording timestamps. Nothing heard after that.
Edit: I just had a chance to check my recordings at my Lake Winnebago listening post and those are much clearer and extend over a greater period of time. What was actually said is "That's how that Alabama dude went off the #$%@^&* end here, absolutely.". Looks like I caught transmissions from about 10:33am to 10:58am CDT on my lake scanners. I'll have to listen to those more closely.
Edit 2: Perhaps they're stopping at EAA Airventure in Oshkosh? Signals were quite strong at the lake.

Their callsign when they arrived at YIP was FALCON 50.
