0735- Coast Guard 202 (C-37 # 02 CGAS Wash) off DCA heading northeast. Maybe headed for the US Coast Guard Academy in New London CT?

The same thing happens with the Swann sector (134.5). When it's slow, the Swann controller also works 125.45/363.0 (Woodstown) & 132.525/307.25 (Dupont).

Additionally, the controller on 127.700 usually handles the 132.050 comms as well. On the 127.700, you can hear the controller and the aircraft at the same signal strength. Basically 127.700 acts like a simulcast of 132.050. You can hear the aircraft direct on 132.050 and locally listen to the controller on 127.700 (when close to SEA ISLE VOR.

0813- Marlin 3 (T-38 71st FS) check in w/Giantkiller (238.1). Also working on W386 common (350.05). Bobcat flt (94th FS F-22s) working on 94th FS discrete (358.85)--one is female pilot.

0833- T-Bolt flt (F-22s 149th FS VA ANG) also working in W386 (350.05)

Just as a followup to my last - you can also hear the aircraft that is on 127.700 being simulcast on 132.050 as well.

Hearing Langley exercise on 292.3 and 255.65, sounds like w-386 area

Found the Barnegat FAA site as well here..... FRS Facility Detail Report | Envirofacts | US EPA

if you look at the location in Google - besides the main tower - there are lots of other towers in the immediate area.

Stratcom this morning says the B-1's deployed to Norway but I haven't heard any other sources on this.
Unless the Dyess B-1's deployed from North Dakota and did polar route we should have seen some tanker action.

I see they just updated their twitter feed around 09:00 EST.

"US Strategic Command - In order to stay as factual and transparent as possible, we want to clarify that this was an initial deployment of the B-1 Bomber's personnel and crew, not the actual planes. That will come at a later date, which @USEUCOM or @HQUSAFEAFAF will release when available."

I always wondered about that Barnegat site, it doesn't look like the typical ARTCC RCAG. The coordinates in that "FRS Facility Detail Report" don't appear to be correct either, the actual antenna farm I think you are talking about is just under a mile west of there at N39 44 51.1 W 74 23 26.5, this is the location given by the FAA.

There is another RCAG at Ship Bottom only 3 miles NE of Barnegat at N39 46 45.0 W 74 20 30.5. This does look like a typical ARTCC RCAG. I'm wondering if whoever did the the FAA database mixed up the two (like they did at Millville) ? It seems odd they would have two ARTCC RCAGs so close together, plus the look of it, leaves me to suspect that Barnegat site might not be used for ATC ?

1020 local - Israeli AF006 (B703 hex 738A01) on ACY Approach 124.600 being passed off to WRI Approach 126.475

Couple of KC-10s off WRI using SPRIG callsign.

Looks like he left DOV around 1009 went to the ACY/WRI area for awhile and is now heading down the coast of VA.

1142- Venus 01 (VC-25 # 82-8000) crossing coast of NC over Outer Banks and heading out over the Atlantic.

1150- Looks like DeeCee 22 is meeting up with Decoy 99 (C-17 89-1199 AE07CE 167th AS WVA ANG) for some AAR training out in AR-218 in western PA.
1210- Terra 97 (C-32 # 02-4452 AE0449 150th SOS NJ ANG) land at ADW.

Gecko25 BE20 84-00150 getting a little gas, and lots of training and certifications, from DREW22 k35R 63-8883 southwest of Raleigh on 324.6 in AR207

82-8000 looks like a little flight training (touch and go) at Newport News VA

Thanks.. yeah just logged some ground crews into Norway last week on a Sun Country Pax jet
and said crews have to quarantine for 10 days at least.. Maybe by the weekend.
Fridays to Sundays always good as you got more Reserve tanker crews available
Remember years ago Dyess sent 8 B-1's to RAF Lakenheath callsigns DARK## I think,way pre mode s days and I was hearing
all these tankers mass launch from McGuire GOLD-11 GOLD-91 plus a couple spares..Each B-1 got a single KC-10 to make the trip.
So if we got 4 B-1's going to Norway will need lots of tanker help.

That was one of the Ocean County sites I was referring to in my earlier post. Been by it many times. There is another site with federal transmitters just west of Warren Grove, NJ.

disregard, hit in error.

No problem. It says you are a "Feed Provider". Is this a public feed on Broadcastify ? Any chance you could load it up with the local mil air freqs and we could listen in and see what you can hear ? Where in CT are you located ? I'd start with the local UHF ATC freqs and set them up follow the F-15s as they operate out of the Westfield-Barnes airport (KBAF) back and forth to the warning areas. If you are interested I can give you some frequency setups to try ?

If you want to send the frequencies go for it. I can see what I'm able to get.
I'm a little ways from mass, but if I was able to put my antenna outside, I would probably be able to pick westover AF up. But I decided to buy a brick house with not many ways to get any line outside easily and I'm trying to sell the house soon so drilling holes is out of question currently.

I'm able to pick up a little bit with just having my antenna near the window. I'm thinking if I were to get a radical ground nmo mount and hang it higher in the window it would do better - but have to test it out to know (lol)
