Milair Wi 2024

[autovon]

Just popped into the shack and some nice MILAIR going on. Sounds like the MSN guys are doing some practice intercepts on 123.1 with CAP4828 (Cessna 182). JUDGE72 also up 260.9. A few other other common MSN frequencies were in use earlier in the day. 228.9, 260.9, 335.8 (ATC). Also a KC-135 on 396.2 setting up for air refueling.

ETA: Now doing practice intercept on F-16s; might be the Toledo boys heading home.

Remember the annual exercise coming up next month at Volk.

Seems they were practicing enforcement of the TFR over the RNC in Milwaukee. That TFR goes up for real at 3:00 PM on 7/14 and stays in place until 11:00 PM on 7/18.

Ah, nice add. I forgot that was going on; makes sense. Maybe some good listening upcoming.

P.S. Rivet Joint rules!

 

[vocoder]

[vocoder]

is noble now a generic cap callsign? or which fw is providing cap duty?

Pretty sure that CAP over Milwaukee is using frequency hopping for this mission.

Hearing plenty of NG, ANG, and Refueling Ops, but Combat Air Patrol/Huntress/NORAD are not on the "normal" frequencies.

 

[vocoder]

yeah, i'm thinkin' maybe the case. but huntress is using 260.9. and heard use of 228.9. freq hopping use, maybe newer fighters?

260.9 and 228.9 have been dead quiet for me despite hearing Huntress and Noble with refueling and ATC lima charlie (loud and clear)... Weird.

 

[vocoder]

if you have a radio to park on 260.9 huntress, try that. cuz it was just active currently this moment. i have a dinosaur pro 2006 parked on 260.9 and it is active.

 

[vocoder]

i am on the lake using a dpd production mil antenna, which really works well with midwest cap operations

 

[jmsanders83]

Love DPD. Great antennas.

 

[jmsanders83]

Funny story. 260.9 was locked out of my scanlist. Yikes. I stand corrected. Now back in business, active traffic.

 

[vocoder]

sounds great, back in business. this is the first time i see the use of freq hopping, that i can think of. i wish i knew who was doing cap duties

 

[vocoder]

i am going to park another radio on 238.2, wi ang f35 post

 

[Bogey5302]

Wisconsin ANG F-35s flying CAP in two ships using Noble, Nation is the callsign for tankers supporting them (KC-135s). Main coordinating on 260.9, refueling on 231.625. I've got pictures of the 35s flying over my house

I just heard an aircraft check in on 260.9000 for RNC CAP. They were talking to what sounded like "Yardstick?" Not sure if this is the Controller call of the day or not.

 

[JohnGingras]

Yup have my ears on from Waukesha county!

 

[crevatis]

They intercepted a Vans rv-6 as it flew northwest then north through the TFR. Interceptor called out on Guard and instructed to turn to the west. The aircraft failed to comply and was shadowed until it exited the TFR to the north.

 

[crevatis]

Plane landed in Osh Kosh and probably being paid a visit.

Someone is not going to have a good day.
