Got them on LiveATC ZMP cleared down to 7000/10000. Mentioned some area but couldn't make it out, intermittent bad intereference on that radio. My guess is they are working the Ranges over there then going home ?

Another BUFF(s) heading northeast out of Minot. Update- seems to maybe be working CYR410 (Shilo Ranges) ? I didn't think B-52s were allowed to bomb Canada ?

From Airscan Dec 7th post.. Yeah you got Shilo location correct New one for me..

"The bombers first flew to the range at Canadian Forces Base Shilo, Manitoba, working with Canadian Joint Tactical Ground Stations to drop 54 weapons"
Sure would like to see the vid of that drop even as conventional dummy bomb loads.

Always meant to ask are 311.0 and 323.800 always multicasted

When the message is being transmitted from the airborne platform it is on multiple frequencies on the UHF and HF bands (amongst other bands).
From Wikipedia....the second paragraph basically answers your question.

TACAMO (Take Charge And Move Out) is a United States military system of survivable communications links designed to be used in nuclear warfare to maintain communications between the decision-makers (the National Command Authority) and the triad of strategic nuclear weapon delivery systems. Its primary mission is serving as a signals relay, where it receives orders from a command plane such as Operation Looking Glass, and verifies and retransmits their Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) to US strategic forces.

As it is a dedicated communications post, it features the ability to communicate on virtually every radio frequency band from very low frequency (VLF) up through super high frequency (SHF) using a variety of modulations, encryptions and networks, minimizing the likelihood an emergency message will be jammed by an enemy.

This airborne communications capability largely replaced the land-based extremely low frequency (ELF) broadcast sites which became vulnerable to nuclear strike.

Only POTUS and VPOTUS get helo out of ADW, FLOTUS is motorcade.

Bet that frosts her jaws. Giggling Kamala gets a helo and she gets the limo.
