Any of you southern NJ guys have any idea what "Banner" (130.3) in the presets refers to?

Banner towing planes at the beach. Could be specific to Atlantic City. 123.5 is used in Ocean City, MD

Travis,
Thanks. That makes sense. Wouldn't want to ru into one of them by accident.
Didn't think of that. Thought it might be some sort of Special Ops unit/SAR

SHARES Hurricane Michael Plan
Guys,
Just in case some of you might be interested:

SHARES Plan for Hurricane Michael - 09 October 2018 - noon EDT
Hurricane Michael is forecast to make landfall as a MAJOR HURRICANE (Category 3) 'with dangerous storm surge flooding, destructive winds and flooding rainfall. Michael will also bring heavy rain and strong winds to other parts of the southeastern United States after it moves inland. "Michael could develop into a potentially catastrophic event for the northeastern Gulf Coast," the National Weather Service office in Tallahassee, Florida, wrote in its area forecast discussion Monday afternoon. Michael could be the strongest hurricane to landfall along the stretch of Florida's Panhandle Gulf Coast in 13 years.' [https://weather.com/storms/hurrican...orecast-gulf-coast-florida-georgia-carolinas]
The National net and the Southeast region net will commence a listening watch coinciding with the regularly scheduled Wednesday test period (11AM-1PM EDT, 10AM-noon CDT). All stations are encouraged to check in to the nets as they would on any other Wednesday, and those stations in the hurricane forecast area (locations expected to experience hurricane force winds) should advise the net control station of this, to the extent that their OPSEC guidance allows. For example, "This is NCS969 in the hurricane forecast area, near Pensacola FL."
At the time the National and SE nets would normally terminate on Wednesday, they will continue with a listening watch into the evening hours, tentatively 8PM EDT for National and 8PM CDT for SE, subject to change based on conditions. Net start and stop times and frequency changes will be announced on net frequencies using the MT-63 data waveform - typically MT-63-1K-Long, but if you use the RSID feature (RX ID in FLDIGI software) you will automatically sync to the correct parameters.
Directed net operations will commence Thursday morning at 8AM EDT for the National net and 8AM CDT for the SE net.
All stations in the hurricane forecast area: please check in with the net control station during the listening watches (before landfall) and during the directed nets after landfall. The NCC Watch would appreciate situational awareness information on impacts to telecommunications infrastructure (wireline and wireless telephone, internet, cable TV, broadcast AM/FM/TV) and power systems. These reports can be sent by Winlink to NCS360.
Stations at Emergency Operating Centers (EOCs) in particular are encouraged to send reports by Winlink.
Thank you.

Probably see alot of hurricane evacs, Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field, Tyndall, NAS Pensacola among them
Eglin and Tyndall bailed out to Wright-Pat.

They must have a lot of room at Wright-Pat.

According to the news reports:
Tyndall Air Force Base said it suffered "extensive damage" from Hurricane Michael as they "took a direct hit" from the category four storm which brought 130mph winds.
The base's Facebook page announced the news on Wednesday night and said the full extent of the damage isn't know, but they will "conduct initial damage assessments when it is safe to do so."
May have to relocate some those F-22's to Langley perhaps?

I'm seeing 3 C-130s heading west together over Missouri. BRADY12,13,14
Two are USAF, one is USMC VMGR-234.
Wonder what that's about.
The E-8s evac'd to Selfridge.
Allegiant Airlines flight returning people to Eglin from Ft Campbell and Scott AFB.

1520 local caught sounded like Victory 51 flight of 3 with Pot appch Baltimore low
mentioning they wanted to do VFR test flyby at Naval Academy at 2,500 feet for Saturday then will rtb BWI.
Victory is Jolly Rogers VFA-103 F/18F Hornets.
Navy plays Temple Sat 3:30pm so guess tot is right..

22 of 55! That is pathetic.
I saw news footage of flipped over fighter jets the other day.I was amazed since I thought it was standard practice to relocate these very expensive aircraft ahead of storms. Now I know why I saw what I saw. Jeez.
That'll add up fast.
It they were unflyable, there's not much that could have been done. Let's hope it isn't really 22 jets, or the USAF has some explaining to do before Congress
Lets not get excited till the real numbers are out... Some say between 3-18 left behind.
I didn't see any F-22's in drone flyovers but am sure a few were left behind to due to
sched maint etc... And just cause some hangar roof tiles get blown off doesn't mean real plane damage.
Had one other report only 4 F-22's left behind but no damage report yet.
Maybe down the road can talk about reinforced fighter hangars like at RAF Lakenheath and why did Tyndall not have a few of these hangar/sheds
if the F-22 is so valuable?
Check out these fighter sheds at LN where US F-15's are stored,hurricane and almost bomb proof.Serious reinforced doors CAT 5 proof
