Oregon National Guard facility in Powell Butte to host nighttime Army helicopter training for next several days

The Oregon National Guard’s Biak Training Center in Powell Butte is scheduled to host active-duty Army rotary wing night training missions, outside of normal operations hours over April 24-29. The visiting unit is located at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, in Tacoma, Washington.

Night flying operations will occur from sundown until approximately midnight and may include low-level flying and refueling stops at the Redmond Airport.

Does anybody have a list of frequencies to monitor for this activity? I would love to listen in.

Thanks!

@ScanRite Curious to know since you have frequencies listed with Channels, where do those come from? I am guessing those are defined somewhere?

I use the SDS100 scanner and want to make sure I pull those in from the RR database if they are listed.

I was just thinking the same thing the other day when I saw a post from you.
Hope all is well! 73s.

Channel #s were from an old list I had from someone in the know. Again, it's old, so not sure how accurate it is.
I've not seen most of what I posted listed anywhere in RR, since they're unconfirmed.

Don't forget 40.9 MHz FM - I have heard them on there more than a few times.

I'm not sure the 135 MHz channel is still in use. I haven't heard in many years.

I have seen 142.8 listed as their new VHF OPS channel, AirNav: KSLE - McNary Field Airport

Might be good to setup custom search criteria for this as well. Something like 139.000 - 150.7750, 12.5 kHz steps in the NFM modulation. Other suggestions?

They are known to use 300mhz rang when flying. I have heard them using that band when flying on coast.

Combat prep: Rainy weather pauses Army nighttime helicopter training at Biak Training Center until Monday - KTVZ

The Oregon National Guard’s Biak Training Center in Powell Butte is hosting active-duty Army rotary wing (helicopter) night training missions outside of normal operations hours through next Monday. But weather can be a factor, so the cloudy, showery conditions made for a pause in their plans.
