Guys,

Has anyone heard the NJ ANG F-16s lately?

I used to hear them at least a couple of times a week but haven't heard them in a long time.

Not sure if it's because their activity level has lessened or that my radio horizon has changed due to buildings, trees, etc.

I have the same concerns on Pax River activity. I see quite a bit of ADS-B activity out of Pax but hearing very little of what I used to hear.

Both AC F16s and PAX River are regularly active on VHF and UHF - will try to post frequencies when active (as work allows)

Sorry guys---didn't see Tech's post before I sent mine.

Thanks for the report. Before leaving for work at 5 this morning I checked my recordings expecting to hear some activity from last night from when POTUS arrived in NY, but there was nothing.

Terry,

Thanks for the new freq.

Terry,

Thanks for the new freq.

The aircraft on that freq identified as Score but I presume they are working together.
