I was initially getting them on the usual freqs 226.300, 314.400, 226.800 but has gone quiet. Maybe starting down low today ?

I heard ZBW on LiveATC say something about the Cranberry MOA, I picked up a key up and a bit of static on 314.4 about 2 minutes ago but that's it so far.
Edit at 16:26, some more static on 314.4
Edit at 16:40, A brief period of low/broken comms on 226.3. Some more static and brief low and broken comms on 314.4. Haven't gotten anything on 226.8 yet.

Right after my last post it picked up. At 16:26 I was getting the LINCOLN flight around 4/4 on 314.400, one was calling out a range then two numbers every 5 miles. started off at "65 miles 42 43 ... 60 miles 42 35 ... 55 miles 42 00", etc. down to 40 miles, then "2 visual 1 pigs away" (?). I'll have to brush up on the jargon. The BIG flight was using 226.800 and it was busy the second half, at one point mentioned working in the "Cranberry Nook" area.

Took my dog for a walk a few miles south of where I live and I was able to actually hear what they were saying on 314.4. Didn’t hear any callsigns, just them talking about different targets.
More than likely they will put B-2's on hardstands at Whitman AFB then R+R gear cylinders and ship
them to New York and back.. Would be nice though if they flew in.. Prob will overhaul other parts of plane while jacked up.
That SAM-185 99-0003 I saw bouncing around California earlier came out of Boeing BFI. Odd using SAM callsign on
a mech shakedown flight or training flight... Usually use VENUS ## callsign for that.. wound up in Santa Barbara Cal.

21:33 CHASSIS? 11 flight cleared to land RWY15 at BTV (LiveATC BTV TWR 118.3)
LiveATC KBTV feed
I'm assuming the CHASSIS (I'm pretty sure that's what they said) flight was in VIPER and were the ones I was picking up on 314.4.
AirScan, did you happen to catch if COORS21 and BUICK31 RTB yet?

It sounds like it might have been JESTY 11 ? Here's a LiveATC audio clip of their return back to BTV. It gets a little interesting near the end when it sounded like they had to do an evasive climb to avoid VFR traffic climbing into their path.
Here's a post with VT ANG Callsigns from last November (thanks to mdmonitor). In addition I've also heard these used recently.
BUICK, CHEVY, CORSAIR, DAGGER, DEMO, JESTY(?), HELLCAT, HAMMER, KINGFISH, MADDOG, MAPLE, POLECAT, SPRUCE, STOUT, TITAN, VENOM, VIPER, WEASEL.
