Hi everyone, just as a quick intro, old milair monitor here, first scanner was a Bearcat 210 or 210xl(I had/have both) that I'm pretty sure I picked up at the VA Beach Hamfest back in the early 80s, first milair capable scanner, Pro-2004 new. Currently using a Pro-2052 and a BCT-15X.
Continuing the discussion, to Airscan, I agree that 292.300 isn't listed in FACSFACVACAPESINST 3120.1N(FACSFAC VACAPES Operations Manual / OPSMAN) , so I doubt it's monitored by Giant Killer, however it is listed in a 1 / 192 FW publication as a discreet freq,
W-386 G-J CMN 350.050 BLUE 292.300 RED 373.100.
I'm guessing y'all know that the T-38s of the 71st FTS serve as aggressor aircraft for the Raptor squadrons at Langley. adsbexchange.com gets pretty interesting in W-386 during most days as the T-38s turn on their transponders anywhere from the base to when they get out in the warning area, but the F-22s aren't visible. I think it was more fun in the late 80s and into the 90s when the F-15s from Langley fought/practiced with the F-14s and maybe FA-18s from Oceana in some of the warning areas off the coast. I could hear the F-15s, an AWACS controlling them, the navy fighters and the E-2c controlling them. Although I couldn't scan Have Quick well, I could get from a fraction of a second to maybe a couple of seconds of clear audio, and heard an AWACS one time that couldn't talk to its fighters because it wasn't hopping. (There were a couple of training nets then that the channels differed by .1 Mhz I think it was.)
Also, Airscan, you left out a line in the W-122 section

Got some wild data noise on 250.0. Also 377.6.
Hearing message on 15.016 nothing on the other HF freqs.

They just transmitted the message on 311.00 and 323.80 a few minutes ago. Turned just south of me and are now on 133.500 NY Center Oceanic and proceeding due regard soon. My HF is filled with high noise level....awaiting new antenna to show up next week.
Nothing here on the coast on those two UHF freqs with data ....will try 15.016 HF for next E6 message (maybe less noisy).
Did you note the message Terry? (at least) Three more have gone out after the specifically addressed one.
HF not so bad here despite being in an industrial/urban environment. Past 24 hours the weather has been more of a probelm. A branch damaged my SATCOM setup before it went through a window into the conservatory.
Yeah did not copy the character letters. Was monitoring something else on another radio but saw 323.800 active and could hear the lady rambling off the traffic. HF here is probably due to computers and other "modern" gadgets causing RFI. So basically generating our own internal interference. I tried telling AMAZON Alexa to knock off the radio interference but she just ignored me. Just received my L-Band antenna the other day and still working on configuration settings etc. Message on 15.016 now but to weak to copy properly 47CGJ something
Repeat of the message from 1833 followed by repeat of a message from 18:17 (and 1830)
Yeah HF is difficult here at the moment.......have to wait to set up the new antenna etc.
1415 local RCH-914 #93-7314 ROLLERS taking his turn to Lajes now.
Sure been some Heavys to Ramstein for starters.Maybe loaded for Djibouti perhaps.
Last night RCH-801 C-17 from Tennessee did Dover stop then Bangor stop for fuel then Ramstein.
Normally don't so that unless really heavy.Guess RCH-806 was the flight to Al Dahfra AB.
Skies of Europe seem empty of any milair.. odd.
1430 local Message on HF 15.016/8992 for 47CGJE.This is MICROFILL? then another message
1440 Message from someone else female op weak signal and unreadable on 8992

14:40 TAMPO58 back in UHF range again (apears to be running loops NW-SE and return in W 107). Female radio operator with PROTOZOA callsign.
Repeat (of the repeat!) from 1900. Neither part addressed and primary NCS call is MICROFILM
TAMPO58 reversing track and passing nearby but too many clouds for pictures.

That is RFI from a device close by - like a modem - router or similar - have heard the same on my side on other frequencies - drives me nuts because it sounds similar to SATCOM data.
