How far of a radius is the orbit

You can watch them orbit (live or replay) on ADSBExchange, but the Rib Mountain orbit is about 55nm east-to-west and 12nm north-to-south.

What Is the frequency range where it does hop

For SATURN, the frequency range that the hopping operates between is typically 224-400Mhz. SATURN is a UHF waveform that replaces HaveQuick. There are many other hopping waveforms used by the military utilizing various frequency ranges and waveforms that the F35 also has the capability of utilizing.

Huntress is NORAD command on the ground not a UH-60, 260.9 is used all over the eastern US when CAP operational.

• Eastern Air Defense Sector (EADS)
• Callsign - HUNTRESS
• Rome, Oneida County, (NY) Sector Operations Control Center (SOCC)

SAM46 09-0018 and two VIP transport C-17s holding in pattern near Saginaw. Departure should be soon.

 

[autovon]

225.6 refueling starting. Believe this is a 4 ship of A-10s (TURBO90 flight?) and a MKE based KC-135
257.925 TURBO90 flight with ATC

 

[KD9KSO]

Do you know what track they are using?

 

[autovon]

Sounds like an ALTRV that starts or goes over Dubuque. Pretty sure I've heard this one used before by A10s.

 

[evilbrad]

Expect limited alternate F-35 flight activity June 11 thru July 2 due to the temporary closure of runway 18/36 at Dane County Regional Airport.

I can confirm they were A-10’s. HOG01 x4. Caught a nice recording of the A/A between boom and receivers on 225.600 as they passed near my perch in Moline, IL.
