Thanks, 271.10 is one of the known freqs. GHOST 01 is a new Drone callsign for me.

It was new for us planespotters around here a few months ago, we thought it was some fighter jet when talking to ATC.
10:20 - I am hearing lots of A/A on 293.3 working what sounds like Warren Grove in NJ. Anyone catch the ID?

Could be Colt flt (MD ANG A-10s). They were working at DOV a little while ago. The MD ANG A-10s usually do a couple of patterns at DOV on their way to Warren Grove.

1056 BREW11 flight of 3 F-35A (158th FW/Burlington ANGB) preparing to RTB from VIPER airspace, heard on LiveATC ZBW (UCA09/ART08)
Actually now that I think about I had heard the GHOST callsign before. I even posted about it in last years thread. D'oh. I wonder if it's a cross-country callsign used for other missions besides the usual Grimm and Oswego ? I was going to check the LiveATC archives but they appear to be down this morning.

Maybe but it sounded like today they were in GRIMM so I'm not sure.
11:30am - working the Ft. Drum restricted areas. Don't see that very often. Probably to low for you to hear anything ?

1149- Looks like Jumbo 70 (C-5M # 85-0003 AE0560 9th AS) & one of the 171st ARW KC-135Rs (# 63-8044 AE0244) are meeting up in AR 218 for some AAR training.

Yeah, no I didn't hear anything, I'm pretty sure they did that a few days ago.

1209 MAINE86 59-1446 KC-135R (101st ARW/Bangor ANGB) orbiting at AR-206 IP waiting for JEDI41 04-4137 C-17A (305th AMW/514th AMW) from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. 235.1
Sorry if this is routine, as I said, just getting back into the hobby and never did listen to ATC much, was always more interested in RR comms and local public safety - but, am now a first time homeowner in the next town over, and our house just so happens to be pretty much right under "KILMA".
"GLARE08" (79-23256) has been circling over Lakehurst for sometime now, shows as the Golden Knights plane on jetphotos.com
In addition, once I do get a scanner back up and running, I understand it depends on antenna height, local topo, etc., but does anyone have any idea on what kind of range of reception I could get? I understand that higher altitude planes can be heard for hundreds of miles, but I'm thinking more in the sub 10,000' range (traffic related to KWRI, again, inexperienced in scanning ATC).
