Boxer 1 hailing helicopter 359 on guard to turn. One to two minutes after the hail, I swear I heard a very distraught older voice 'SORRY' on guard. Seems Boxer 1 never made contact with helicopter 359 until on the ground and on 123.075 (KOQN UNICOM). Huntress asked for tail of helicopter and Boxer indicated he would parallel the a/c and relay. I never heard the tail. Did anyone ?

Sorry I did not hear that it was Boxer 1. My apologies sir

US Air Force Helo on guard VHF intercepting a aircraft in a restricted area near Brandywine
Yeah trying to decipher that call from tape.. "US Air Force helicopter on Guard 10 miles SW of (sounded like)
Waynes Field Lima Oscar something. If you hear this transmission you have been intercepted move North immediately"
Called him again near Brandywine regional OQN with same message... Chasing helicopter 359 Then something about to sw to 123.075 and made contact on the ground. Last heard here.

1545 sounds like NOBLES chasing a Cub I hear target TOI-3.. BOXER has the Tally.
BOXER-1 says aircraft is high wing WW2 type markings landing Chester County.
NOBLE-22 says they have intercepted TOI-2. High wing Cessna westbound.
NOBLE 21 reports TOI-1 is landing with BOUNCER-1.

12:50 - Huntress coming in clearer now.

What sort of antenna setup are you using ? Indoor/outdoor ?

Feed antenna is a VHF antenna at 40 feet. I should probalby shift the feed to the discone at 50 foot.

All mounted either on poles or tripod on roof - red scribbled antennas are no longer there

Perhaps Wings Field

Terry, was there a female involved with Philadelphia radar on 121.50 ?

Phila radar has female controllers too. I added 319.150 (Phila radar to the scan) I had added 124.350 but if I keep that active - you would not hear anything else.

Let me know if the controller on 319.150 talks too much and I will delete the frequency

The helo you showed has been showing on ADSBx all afternoon. Unless there is a second helo following it, heard on guard when escorting/following an aircraft to Brandywine it say it was a US Air Force helo.

The USCG helos at Atlantic City train daily for intercept practice (against another USCG helo, against Civil Air Patrol fixed and helicopter aircraft) sometimes working in correlation with Huntress too. Doubt Bouncer is anything but a USCG helo.
