Off topic, but wanted to share. I've have had a Noolec LNA (20MHz-4GHz) sitting around here doing nothing. Decided to run it on my SBS unit. Results are pretty dramatic. Extended coverage now as far as the Mass border and Lower NY Stat. Northeast as far as CYRI RIVIERE-DU-LOUP and more coverage into Central Maine. Northern coverage has also improved. I'll do more testing through the week see what else improves.

As AF2 and the other VIP aircraft arrive for the launch it will be interesting to see which runways they use. In the past the Shuttle Landing Facility, the Canaveral Space Force Station Skid Strip and Patrick AFB have hosted AF1, AF2, Elon Musk's bizjet and others.
SAM-949 GLF5 #18-1947 to the Cape from Colo Springs..Assume some Space Force Brass.

FORGE-78 Army GLF5 #04-01778 headed down that way now from Andrews.. Army brass?

SAM 949 landed at the Skid Strip, FORGE 78 landed in Kissimmee (a shibboleth, like Boca Raton, for tourists to pronounce ;)).

AF2 is going from LAX to MCO (Orlando International Airport).

1541 - Barnes F-15s up on 264.850 talking about “Runway 15”

1548 - NOBLE 11 with ZBW 282.200 (MPV52/PLB53) sounds like they’re dropping into Burlington maybe for some approaches and then heading back to Barnes. Weird that they’re all the way up to BTV with a CAP callsign (A-A: 264.850).

1553 - NOBLES handed off to BTV approach
1554 - sounds like NOBLES will be doing an initial for RWY 15 and then a low approach.

Also saw post today that I can't find now about ADSBX that had report of new ADSBX feed way up North towards Iqaluit Canada.
I am seeing mode ADS-B aircraft just North of AR-62 now instead of only the usual ADS-C Sat mode.
US/Canada Mil rarely use ADS-C except for some US Navy C-40 types.Will have to keep eye on that up there.

I'm happy to hear that. I was talking to a couple of people up there a while back and asked them to set up an ADSBx receiver, but they were already committed to FR24. Ideally, someone near or in Schefferville would help with the coverage gap around AR62. Not much human activity outside of that area.

NASA Gulfstream V N95NA, NASA WB-57 N927NA (thanks Mark, I missed that one on the first pass) and two NASA EC35 helos patrol the Kennedy Space Center prior to the possible launch today of Artemis I. There is a hydrogen leak issue on one of RS-25 engines with the count at an unplanned hold of T-40 minutes.
