20:00 Low and broken comms on 314.4 (VT F-35 tactical)

Guys,
This was posted on another list by a guy in Kentucky:
April 8, 2021.
Well, it looks like I missed another E-4B & C-32 pairing. A C-32
(09-0015) took off out of DC, flying west, then turned southeast near
Louisville, where he picked up E-4B TIMMY 01 (74-0787) in trail. They
flew south together until they were just to my southwest, then both
turned northeast towards DC. The E-4B separated from the C-32 in West
Virginia & turned west. The C-32 flew on into the DC area. This is a
different format than I've seen in the past. Usually, the E-4B flies to
the DC area, then picks up a C-32.
The E-4B was transmitting WBFM on 272.325 MHz & a friend of mine near
Springfield, KY had NFM secure comms on 297.425 MHz. Does anybody know
who uses 297.425? He had it as a SATCOM secure uplink.

20:10 - CRAZY flight on 314.400 and WEASEL flight on 226.800. Sounded like whoever was on 226.300 was talking to someone on the ground with the callsign ICE DIGGER (?), mentions BUICK flight will be up soon.

Could be a JTAC, the 274th ASOS is a detachment of the 174th ATKW at KSYR and often a trains at Fort Drum.

20:53 I heard a VTANG pilot say something along the lines of “You head to Cranberry, We’re in Carthage East”
I heard that as well, and something about staying in VIPER West to avoid the other guys. 226.800 was quite busy with the BUICK flight doing what sounded like runs on the "Snowdrift" target area (?) and dog fighting. At first I thought I heard the WEASEL flight on 226.800 but maybe it was always BUICK ? Sorta sounded like each flight had their own frequency for tactical and used 226.300 to coordinate ? I'm new to monitoring the VIPER so still trying to figure out the standard ops and frequencies.

That 297.425 shows to be the uplink for CONUS downlink Channel 119
263.825 297.425 CONUS 119 DOD 25 KHz

ADS-B showing team 51 (KC-1079-1710 AE01DC) & Team 52 (KC-10 # 84-0188 AE021B) over Cape Charles area working way back to McGuire after doing some AAR in the area of the Dare NC ranges.
1305- Team 51 working Atlantic City A/D (124.6) requesting a couple of ILS approaches. Advises they are single ship & that Team 52 in going on to McGuire.

Did anyone happen to catch the callsign of the KC-10 (87-0118) from McGuire that’s refueling on AR-206 with JEEP51 (60-0345)?Just got home from practice and turned my scanner on, I heard JEEP51’s boom operator talking to 87-0118 but no callsigns were given when I was listening.
