I'm just south of Baltimore so guess there too many obstructions between my location and the Pentagon plus the low altitudes don't help. I'll put the tower freqs back in for awhile and see what happens.
Thanks

They don't come in well here either! The PAT01 flight called in 5 miles SW of the Pentagon and it was weak but readable. I've noticed better reception downtown in DC. Like you say, the terrain and flight altitudes don't help. We need remote SDR's everywhere!

Tech,
My callsign file shows Kong used by B-2 from 509th BW, Whiteman AFB MO. Maybe one was sneaking through our area?
I have friend out in Kansas who hears the Whiteman acft regularly. I'll check with him to see if they were active today and let you know what I find out.

Coast Guard welcomes new Northeast commander

BOSTON — The First Coast Guard District held a change-of-command ceremony Tuesday in Boston.
During the ceremony, Rear Adm. Thomas G. Allan, Jr., assumed command of the First Coast Guard District, which encompasses eight states, including 1,225 miles of coastline from the U.S., Canadian border to northern New Jersey, and 1,300 miles offshore.
“My family and I are excited for the new challenge to serve the citizens of the Northeast," said Allan. "And I'm honored to lead the men and women of the First District."
Rear Adm. Andrew J. Tiongson, who served as the First District commander for the past two years, will continue his Coast Guard career as the U.S. Southern Command’s Director of Operations directing all U.S. military operations across the Caribbean Basin plus Central and South America.
"My father was a Senior Chief in the Coast Guard, and I grew up in Boston," said Tiongson. "This was a homecoming for me and it was an incredible blessing, the highest of honors, and the greatest of privileges to lead the men and women of the First District for the last two years."
Allan is a career operations ashore officer with tours across multiple units with a concentration in boat forces operations. His most recent assignment was Assistant Commandant for Resources and Chief Financial Officer at Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington D.C.
Vice Adm. Scott A. Buschman, commander of Coast Guard Atlantic Area, presided over the ceremony.
The First Coast Guard District includes more than 12,000 active duty, reserve, civil servant and auxiliary personnel. In an average year, the First Coast Guard District saves 427 lives, conducts 2,392 search and rescue cases, assists 4,536 people, and safeguards approximately $115,000,000 in property at sea.
The change-of-command ceremony is a time-honored military tradition that marks a transfer of total responsibility and authority from one individual to another. The ceremony is conducted in order to formally demonstrate the continuity of authority within a U.S. military command.

I think it’s more likely to be F-35s from Eglin AFB. One of the squadrons is the “Gorillas” and they fly as KONG.

My Kansas friend says he heard no B-2s active today so it's still a mystery.

Looks like several tankers from WRI swung down towards Georgia and are now headed NE together. Might be something to listen for!

Busy day for WRI tanker fleet. HOSERS, HOISTS, GOLDS, TOPCATS all working today.
12100- Hoist 90 flt starts heading south taking Blues back home.

Busy tanker day up here for sure Ron. The GOLDs were part of an F-35 Coronet flight heading to Lajes from Hill AFB. Besides tanker heaven up here, we now have a VENUS 91 98-0001 C-32 inbound to Bangor and VENUS 62 18-1942 working at Portland. The VENUSes have been coming to Bangor for pattern work the past few days. Maybe they're dropping in to pick up some lobster! ;-)
