There is a FAA Safety Team Notice for Friday through Monday for Wilmington
Must be Potus weekend coming up.
The usual pair of V-22s just going inbound KILG.
I believe it was a bust.I was out of town, did anyone catch any activity last night in Viper ? Or was it a bust ?
The pair just overflew me back Westbound may take shortcut over APG area. Clear day and purty green paint1000- lots of talking on 143.825 (HMX). Will miss hearing someone on the radio, a flyover and trying a new route through the bravo on the way home. All one sided.
1009- DRAKRO21? says to ILG ground are now nighthawk 21 flight departing VFR to the south
Unid with bad code of 424BA0 as BOE005 showed up on my local ADSB setup while I was out, ADSBExchange shows it originated at Georgetown DE and currently over South Dakota heading NW towards Seattle
I think that is Barnes Mass 104 FW F-15C type A/A freq.259.9 is up right now, plane to plane. Sounds like some tactical training.

288.0AM Constant high-pitched tone. Does not sound like a pure tone. Data? The source is 50-100 miles away as it does fade out with atmospheric condx. Could be McGuire.

So far I've programmed in all the 25 kHz military FM channels from 30.000 to 60.000 with CTCSS decode of 151.4 Hz + most of the listed VHF & UHF military channels for the metro NYC-Phila area. So far 860 channels which take 8 sec to scan.
While most mil activity in the FM band seems to be concentrated below 50 MHz, I have heard the NJNG using channels around 57 MHz when they were on flood control security duty in Bound Brook, NJ. I also found a note on 65.000 in an old log book. So I plan to add the remaining channels between 60.025-87.975.
It was not surprising when I had a 6M repeater on 53.25 without CTCSS to have military comms on 52.250 key it up. Most folks don't realize that the military is the primary user of the spectrum & everyone else, amateurs included, are secondary users. An example was the ban on amateur operations during WW2.
There have been a number of openings on 50 MHz over the past few months but no military skip yet. I also monitor 30.000 without CTCSS as this channel gets active when the band opens.
I also plan to add the bc station harmonics that I have copied in the past (AM mode).
