Potus

There should be some increased activity just above the 24 HR NOAA weather report repeaters and the UHF military aircraft bands. (225-420 mhz.)...

Apparently he couldn't just say "in the federal 160-170 MHz frequencies".

Haha I was going to say that's about the trickiest round-about way I've ever heard the 163-174 MHz federal band described! Interesting none the less.

Does AF-1 (et all) still use the Yankee-Zulu channel?? I havn't monitored it for quite some time.

WIZARD A would be the AWACS not the CAP itself.

Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks ColorodoRedlands, I don't have too much experience with Milair. I got off work and retasked my radios and must have just caught the tail end of the event. I never have heard Wizard. Comms were relaying radar info, wo i thought it was Bigfoot talking to Wizard. Anyway thanks. Every but helps. I wish I'd gotten back sooner. I had a pretty cool process going for awhile. I was using my 396 to scan and entering freqs into my 330 for channel scanning. I also had my ICR3 going, but had better luck with the unidens.

Most likely you did hear WIZARD and BIGFOOT talking to each other.
