Getting Multiple A/A on 138.875 AM mode with nothing showing in my area I can pin it too.
I believe this is a McQuire AFB freq New Jersey and one of the pilots kept talking about that base.

I guess it (could) be the boys in Buckeye MOA, they are up chatting on various freqs but these guys are a lot more clear and stronger but with the Tropo going on this morning who knows.
That 138.875 AM is an old tanker interplane frequency that's not used much these days. There was a bunch in that upper 138 mhz area and into the 139 mhz block. All AM mode.
1130- GLARE 25 running patterns up and down the NJ coast.

1137L SAM910 off the coast New Jersey / ACY descending, setting up an approach to ADW.
1155- Chat on 118.4 indicates there is a ramp freeze in effect at ADW. Prob for Zelenski's arrival. I would've thought that President of Ukraine deserved a C-32 not a dinky C-40.

1205- BAF 81 (Belgian AF Falcon 700 OO-FAE) inbound to ADW.

From the UK’s Telegraph newspaper:

Thousands of flight-tracking enthusiasts logged on to commercially-available applications and websites to monitor the progress of the flight, codenamed SAM910, as it travelled from Rzeszow airport, Poland, to Joint Base Andrews, a 30-minute drive from the White House.
The US Air Force Boeing C-40B arrived at the Polish airfield, the same used by Nato allies to deliver weapons to Ukraine, in the early hours of Wednesday morning, after a short flight over from the Ramstein military base in Germany.
With Mr Zelensky believed to be safely on board, the aircraft departed Rzeszow for Washington at 8.15am local time.
Roughly an hour before, a Boeing Awacs (Airborne warning and control) surveillance plane was sent from its base in Geilenkirchen, Germany, to patrol over the North Sea, circling the waters.
And as the flight reported to be carrying the Ukrainian president approached the North Sea, a US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet was dispatched to the area from its base in Mildenhall, Suffolk.
Awacs and F-15s are known to work closely together in the North Sea.
The fighter jet returned to base shortly after the US Air Force Boeing C-40B entered Scottish airspace

Atlantic City Radar
124.600 VHF 327.125 UHF South
134.250 VHF 385.500 UHF North
Been that way for as long as I can remember
I can't find 385.500 in any enroute charts for A/C or McGuire.
This A/C chart shows AC North 134.250 paired with 292.200. 00669ATLANTICCITY (faa.gov)
I wonder if maybe 385.500 is the rare VFR freq.. Dover has VFR apch only freqs South 125.900/282.325.
I only hear traffic on them occasionally daytime only in good wx. Usually Summer days when some Pax T-38's use 282.325 for missed approaches.
Like I said 385.500 is rare.. Maybe the aircraft were VFR from the North today into A/C.
