Thanks Travis. Sorry for the mix-up. One of those senior moments. Busy trying to work 2 scanners at once which might be too much for this old brain.

Was just hearing DEPOT11 with inbound messages to VX-20 on 285.2. He gave the buno 164xxx I think, but then through me off when he immediately followed that calling it 501.
E-2C/D I would imagine, but not showing as far as I can tell.

2035- EAM being passed on 11175. Three E-6Bs are currently airborne.
