1935 local- OPEC 29 gassing up fighters off NJ coast on 288.0. Might be your WILD flights since I haven't been able to snag any fighter IDs.
OPEC 29 reports they're having boom problems, working through the check list.
1955 local- Think I'm hearing WILD and SCARY callsigns, hard to make out, fighter signals are weaker than the tanker.

I know what you mean about weak--after trhey QSY'ed to 307.275 they continued to fade from my hearability range and I could hardly hear them on 255.0

Odd traffic circling around Northeastern PA
Usually that means JFK has bad weather and the planes are in a holding pattern. In the day time you can actually look up and see them flying in circles if they are over you.

03/04/20 @ 1107 local- DEVIL flights training off the coast 339.725, practice intercepts while their gas station MAINE 85 circles off the coast.
Also at this same time, 3 tankers just departed KWRI going east over the Atlantic HOSER 31, 32 & 33. Sounds like interplane 268.025
