BOBBY 21 KC-10 last logged Scotland earlier dragging them,may have gone to Canada.
BOBBY 22 rtb UK
Yesterday BOBBY 33 KC-135 Pittsburgh went to CYQI Canada so maybe second wave Thursday.

I also heard the (something 71) flight of 6 counting off on Sea Isle 281.45, couldn't make out that first word.

Hearing data pulses on 225.100
Anyone else hearing them ? Just trying to confirm a potential related source.

Copying steady pulses here real loud in FM mode.

Okay well I believe that the source of the data is the MQ4C (shown below). I have been tracking the activity over the past several weeks and have been working to confirm it is not house or local interference. Although the Icom hears it as well I just wanted to make sure my systems were not compromised. I have tied the data pulses to wheneven the UAV is airborne and have heard it fade from receving when it is out of radio range (on the ground or just too far away for even 50K altitude). While I do not know what it is - it sort of confirms they are linked together.

[Mark]

Ok noticed ISS out of range as well.. Tried washing audio thru Multi PSK software but
nothing but gibberish text in various modes.
Yeah I'll buy it is the SCORE bird Have him myself climbing up to 48k now but not
tracking but is squawking 5561.

 

[wildbillx]

I also have the steady pulse 5 by 5, Terry with Score46 near the Chesapeake.

Thanks - once mission is complete - the pulses will go away after it lands. It is definitely a good trigger for knowing when the UAV is up (although it does show up on the aircraft tracking as well. My squawk code is showing 5305 and 49400 and climbing at 15:29

Terry

 

[TerryPavlick]

Well that was fun while it lasted......not tracking or showing up on my side. Pulses still active on 225.100
16:00Z

 

[TerryPavlick]

UAV has been on and off but now descending though 11K and pulses still going but weaker 19:50
