1302 local- One or two fighters just went over my work location going north. Too fast to get an eyeball. But heard female pilot talking on 353.75 looking for a good freq.
1324 local- She just came back again going south. Went up the Hudson River then turned around and came back south. Couldn't get an eyeball because of the cloud deck that just moved in. This time she was showing on TIS-B.

Hearing GINGER ALE with dispatch on 11175. Maybe E-6B 162782 VEXED12 that departed Pax.

I'll need to do something about a different antenna for my new IC-7300. I could barely hear this. Could hear fine with an online SDR.

Travis,

I had good reception with my PAR end fed HF antenna. It's 45-ft long and easy to deploy.
