I have recent;y become interested in monitoring military aircraft. I have read a lot on the RR forums and elsewhere so I understand that it can be a challenging hit or miss hobby. I also understand that there are some limitations if I do not have an outdoor antenna.
I am in Union County NJ so am near most of the metro airports. I have a BCD436 HP. I recently purchased a Diamond SRH77CA but also have a RS whip antenna and RS800MHz.. From Sentinel I have added The NYC Tracon frequencies, the RCAG frequencies, the Military frequencies for EWR, JFK and LGA.. I also have the McGuire AFB frequencies, the ANG (from ACY), Norad and NJ's CAP frequencies. While I have heard some transmissions from Norad, ARW , NJANG and WRI I thought perhaps I'd hear a bit more given that I would think there are pretty regular patrols over the NYC area. I do not hear anything on the TRACON sites. I usually am just up in my attic listening.
I also have the Military Bands in my search fields (yes I know there are a lot of frequencies so using only 1 scanner to search even though I ave it broken up into is not ideal). Just wondering if there are other things worth adding to my FL (Andrews AFB/Dover AFB probably out of my range here??).
Thanks.
