1557- ZBW trying to handoff SKULL 12 to ZOB 346.350, tried them 3 times, not sure if they responded ? Clearance back to KBAD was via the same route they took north ERI-ROD-PXV-MAW-LIT.

After checking my tape (recording 244.500 and 226.900) I only heard SKULL 11 working BRUTAL (JTAC), nothing from SKULL 12. Anyone catch SKULL 12 working another JTAC frequency ? The formation split before they left with SKULL 11 advising their flightplan route was via CRE (Grand Strand NC).

About 5 mins before they departed the area I caught SKULL 12 working with BRUTAL on 279.700. I have not heard this freq used before, sounds like they might have been on that freq the whole time.
