Just heard "Air F orce 2" on Potomac Approach on 124.5500! Could it be the VP coming back from the retreat in Philly today???

Looks like KC2 ZZ336 is what the UK PM arrived on yesterday evening. Showed callsign KRF37. What's that supposed to mean.

 

[mdmonitor]

This particular A330 has special recent VIP interior for these flights.

WebSDRs

Guys,

Just passing this on in case some of you might be interested.


My home HF reception is almost zero. Outside antennas are not allowed, I live in a suburban environment near a major airport, and to add more problems, I have large power transmission lines about 100 yds behind my house.

So I've gone to trying the various WebSDRs out there since I really enjoy searching the HF spectrum.

If you would like to try using WEBSDRs try SDR.hu. In addition to U.S. based SDRs, there are alot of SDRs for use from all over the world, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, Greece, even Russia.

For me it adds an interesting dimension to this hobby

Idk much about HF but what should I look for to try and listen to the MIL HF? Theyre in the 225-400mhz? Yet most posted on that site seem to be 0-30mhz?

Great link. I'm trying it out with the Oceanic frequencies now.
Only active one I've found so far is 6586.

My stepdad will probably like this too.

Anybody catch the AF1 departure to Dover?
Nevermind apparently he took a helo there.

Guys,



At times catch B-52s going to/coming Guam, Reach flts to/from Europe & Middle East, VIP (SAM, SPAR, even AF1) when POTUS travels overseas.

Takes some persistence to "sift" through the normal civil trfc to catch the milairs

The ones I use the most are (all USB):

HF-GCS 6739, 8992, 11175

North Atlantic) Atlantic--8891 (Iceland), 8864 (Gander),

Pacific: 8903 (Tokyo, Frisco), 5547 (Frisco), 11282 (Frisco) 17904 (Frisco)

Lots of others---just need to Google Arinc HF freqs.

It takes a little doing but you can switch to different SDRs along the route and follow these guys from take off to landing.

As an example of what you can hear on SDRs, here's logs I heard yesterday:
