Guys,

Anyone have the current freqs used at the Warren Grove Range?

Warren Grove primary is 283.1 but they may have a secondary or an alternate like years ago. Checking my old notes, before they switched to 283.1, 286.2 was primary and 139.625 was a VHF alternate. I thought there was another UHF secondary back then but I can't find it in my notes. And it was rarely used.

Tech,

Thanks.


Those are the ones I had in my notes but wasn't sure if they had changed them or not. Will plug them in and see if I get anything

Guys,

1445Z--ADS-B showing
AE0139 HOSER11 63-8003 Boeing KC-135R.
AE0499 HOSER12 58-0010 Boeing KC-135R
AE05AC HOSER13 63-8029 Boeing KC-135R All from 305th AMW at McGuire all leaving McGuire together and heading west.

Looks like it could be related to Global Thunder.

At 1830Z all three Hosers, in trail formation, and apparently heading back to McGuire . Hoser 13 is east of Wash DC, Hoser 12 is over Fredricksburg VA and Hoser 11 is over Lynchburg VA.

1055 EDT- ADS-B showing MC-12W Crook 40 orbiting over the Toms River NJ area. Probably departed from WRI

CROOK has been there for weeks. He's out of Lakehurst NAS. 255.7 is the usual. Its usually an MC-12 doing video feed testing back to Lakehurst.
