Military Air Monitoring

[mfuller1950]

Sorry to take up the bandwidth, but it wasn't until yesterday that I had a scanner that would monitor the military portion of the spectrum. I have all the freqs for the L.R. Airbase, but I have read many threads about different antennas the the poor receptions. I currently use a ham dual band ground plane and am aware that the mil air spectrum is in the 220 mhz spectrum. Is there anyone in the Central AR that currently monitors the military frequencies that might hand out some good suggestions about what I might need to make monitoring the military bands successful.


Tnx

Being in NLR, especially if you're north of I-40/US167, you shouldn't have any problem monitoring LRAFB, . There are many vhf frequencies in use by the C-130s during training runs. LRAFB also uses a 400 MHz trunked system, which is in the clear a lot. They do frequent drills and exercises that are interesting.

Care to share the frequencies?

C-130J's fly over my house about 500 - 600 feet high nearly every day, so low they viberate the wife's picture on the wall. I have used close call but they are too far away by the time I set it up.

Any help on frequncies will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
