Hi and welcome to the area!! The freqs located here are what I hear the 167th on. The 163mhz freqs are pretty faint even for me and I'm only 4.5 miles from them. Sounds like they're handhelds.

I also heard him Thursday (27th) but didn't log it - and didn't pay much attention at the time since I was doing something else. It was about 1430 Thursday when I heard him according to my notes but I didn't log his destination.
About 1140, I had two aircraft in contact with Coast Guard Sector Baltimore on Marine Channel 23A - 157.15. One of them was Auxiliary Aircraft 5132C (N5132C, Cessna 210) and the other was CG 6585 (HH-65, CGAS Atlantic City). They were just giving position reports and asking Baltimore to assume guard.
At 1203, CG 6585 asked Sector Baltimore to secure guard - which they did. Then at 1208, 6585 came up on Marine Channel 21A - 157.05 calling PIT BOSS. He said he was not going to be shutting down, just dropping off the parts (or pax) and go. He wanted the Watch Captain notified of that. I believe 6585 went into DCA which probably makes PIT BOSS the station/detachment ops at that location for the Coast Guard helos on duty there. We've heard them previously calling PIT BOSS during exercises with HUNTRESS on the 139.7 freq.

Yep, makes sense. That probably would have occured to me had I not been trying so hard to figure it out.

I am over here in Southern MD., Bill. St. Mary's County. And yes These guys appear to have a good read on the area. Glad I found this thread. I hope to contribute to it to some degree in the future. I am not much on logging everything I hear but I think I am going to be set up pretty well when all is said and done for closing up some holes and tying up loose ends.
1240: 120.05 PAX APP- Coast Guard 32C up asking how long PAX will be open.
Thanks Brian. I should have mentioned that.BM82557 said:

1355: 138.2 AM. NORAD - Getting weak voice hits on the freq. Anybody else getting it?
I just checked the recording. Pretty weak, but C/S appeared to be BICEP. Also think I heard an ALT of Two Zero Zero. I only had two transmissions back to back, the second being much weaker than the first. Possibly heading northbound I guess.TinEar said:

Nope...I wasn't listening to the radios the past couple of hours. It might have been the NJ-ANG from Atlantic City. That's the freq they generally use when working HUNTRESS using callsigns COSMIC.

I believe that BICEP is also used by the NJ-ANG Atlantic City

Nice catch for the GIANT SHOT info JR. Many thanks. Good thing it wasn't an OLYMPIC SHOT.
Those BLACKJACKs (1 and 2) are up doing practice intercepts on each other on Marine Channel 21A...157.05 (The normal training channel for them. They are very loud and clear tonight.)
1933: BLACKJACK 1 to PIT BOSS reports 5 minutes out...157.05

12−4−1. “FLYNET” FLIGHTS, NUCLEAR
EMERGENCY TEAMS
The Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), a Department
of Defense organization, and the Department of
Energy have established Nuclear Emergency Teams
throughout the United States. The code name “Flynet’’
indicates that an aircraft is transporting a
Nuclear Emergency Team or a Disaster Response
Team to a potential or actual nuclear accident or an
accident involving chemical agents or hazardous
materials. These teams are on call around−the−clock
to proceed to any location within their areas of
responsibility, and it is in the public interest that they
reach their destination as rapidly as possible. The
following procedures apply:
a. The code name “Flynet’’ will be included in the
remarks portion of the flight plans. U.S. Government,
civil, and military aircraft will be used to airlift these
teams.
b. ATC personnel shall make every effort to
expedite the movement of “Flynet” aircraft.
1050pm local.
Keep hearing pilots on couple ZDC freqs asking score of Patriots-Giants game.
1105 Patriots winning late in game 38-28.. Perfect season!

I'm guessing the E-6 is one of very few Navy assets that refuels via boom. Imagine how long it would take to top it off with the probe and drogue! Just 1 (sort of) from Dulles this afternoon:
1601: -378.1- XXXXTRAIN 33?XXXX 5 crew, no pax, no cargo, needs 20K, and will be on the deck in 20.
At 1616, I saw a C-130H with a dark red tail band (similar to the RI ANG, but it didn't look like a J), pass overhead, but wasn't able to hear any calls on the usual 119.85.
Also, controllers were giving clearances for the ELDEE2 arrival with the "Runway 1 transition," so there should be a "runway 19 transition" when the winds are southerly.
EDIT: Couldn't have been wronger. It was VIKING 42 (91-9142 most likely), and it looks like Potomac was doing the early switch, handing off to 124.7 after crossing ELDEE.

Sitting here enjoying my first cup of the morning and just reviewing a few things. Felt it was worth noting I have not had a good hit on 310.15 at all this weekend. I was kinda under the impression these folks were flying missions out of PAX more regularly.

I don't hear them on that freq every time they fly but that could very well be because I'm located too far away from the action.

That is Atlas air cargo 747-200 coming in from Frankfurt GIANT 8139.

I am close enough to them that I can hear the aircraft calling SHADOW OPS on their Maint. freq even when the bird is still sitting on the flightline. They have been pretty quiet this weekend.
0942: 135.2 Got something leaving PAX right now. Said he was a Heavy. Just got Taxi Approval to RWY 6.
0948: 388 Calling Shadow Maint on 135.2. No response cause he is on the wrong freq and radio
0949: Now all the sudden have a ROYAL 76 up on 121.0
0950: 388 calling Shadow Maint now on 310.15
* Of course they decide to fly now that I have about 1/2 my radios offline
0952: Getting comms on 311.0 Will have to review the audio to get the notes later. It was a request for authentication
The bird is up and gone and I don't have all my radios configured to follow these guys like I want but I am close to being there. Should be there by the end of the day if all goes well.
Just checking ROYAL 76 clearance info as given on PAX Clearance Delivery PER MY RECORDED AUDIO
0941: 135.2 CLNC DEL - "ROYAL 76 HEAVY YOU ARE CLEARED TO TANGO XRAY KILO FOXTROT VIA THE PATUXENT 093 RADIO TO SALSBURY - CHAMP THEN AS FILED. UPON DEPARTURE REMAIN RUNWAY HEADING MAINTAIN 3000. EXPECT FLIGHT LEVEL 270 ONE ZERO MINUTES AFTER DEPARTURE. YOUR DEPARTURE CONTROL FREQUENCY IS 121.0 OR 250.3. SQUAWK 0570."
Unfortunately that appears to be about all I got on the recorded audio for now. Once I get a little further along with the setup here I'll be able to dedicate a few radios to these guys.
