If you connect to my scanner feed you can hear the Potomac controller with about 1 minute delay.

Came in from spending time outside on this nice warm day to see if the CAP would finish at its scheduled time of 1400. It did. At 1350, TANKER 05 was released by HUNTRESS on primary freq 139.7, went to Potomac on 135.525 and picked up a clearance to head home to Milwaukee. His first handoff was to ZDC-Potomac 133.975.
PITMAn 31 and 32 were released at exactly 1400 by HUNTRESS, went to Potomac on 350.25 for their clearance home to Shaw. From there, they were handed off to ZDC-Brooke on 327.0 for a direct Nottingham, direct Shaw route. They went to V-8 139.825 for interflight chat on the way home. Both jets were Code 3 status as they left...31 for a radar problem and 32 also with a radar problem plus a left external fuel tank feeding very slowly. And so ends the CAP for another weekend.

Fly By for Ravens Game?
I just heard the ground controller for Martin State give clearence (did not catch callsighn)
for radar vectors to Martin State.Departure freq. was a UHF freq. So maybe some A-10's will be buzzing around.
15:14-They Are hedding down to R-4006 before the fly by They are on Button 6>290.475
15:15- A/A 142.3
15:32- Sounds like the weather is holding their altitude low down at Pax.
15:57- Fly By is at 16:24 they are holding North of Swann.
16:11- Good chit chat on 142.3

I forgot to post this story from today's Baltimore Sun earlier when I made the post about the end of the CAP...it's the story of BUZZ 14, a B-52 that crashed in western Maryland January 13th many years ago.

Heard a couple on Sunday while at Dulles.
1455: -378.1- NAVY JU 929 (C-9B 159117 VR-56 seen) is inbound with 52 pax. Passed tail# in arrival message. ATC vectors were on 119.85.
1608: -378.1- DEECEE 99 (KC-135R Andrews seen) is 30 minutes out and will be arriving with 13 pax and 40K of fuel. Called back a few minutes later for a parking spot. ATC on 119.85.
1655: -125.8- ASCOT 6736 heavy (RAF C-17A ZZ172 99sq seen) vectors for visual 19L at IAD. To Tower on 120.1, and Ground on 121.9. Also called Signature ramp on 131.875 to set up the arrival.
1705: -119.85- EVAC 50984 (C-130H 65-0984 Willow Grove seen) depart ELDEE at 6000 (usual is 8000'), and vectors to ADW.

Re: DC 99
Hi Mateo,
I'm sure you'll be interested in this: DC 99 was 57-1512.

0917: CADE 1 (A-10 PA-ANG Willow Grove), flight of two chatting on interflight...142.25
0919: CADE 1 flight with Philadelphia TRACON...319.15
0920: CADE 1 handed off to Phil. TRACON...269.25
0925: CADE 1 flight handed off to 257.85 which is not a good freq...think the controller meant 257.875...anyway, CADE 1 comes back to 269.25 to say no one answers him on 257.85 and so they're handed off to 323.0, which is another Dover App/Dep freq, where they check in and explain the problem.
0930: CADE 1 flight is talking about the wrecked C-5 off the end of the runway at Dover. One is amazed it's still there....they mention just the mid-section of the fuselage is left...142.25
0932: The CADE pilots are talking about what they'll do at the range - which targets to attack and how (Warren Grove Range I suppose)...142.25
0934: RHODY 34 (C-130 RI-ANG Quonset State Airport) chatting on the RHODY Ops freq of the RI-ANG...talking about fighting an ice problem...says he has to go down and up...worst ice he's seen in awhile...says he's fighting to maintain 145 knots...383.3
0938: RHODY 34 says he's over Langley at this time and has icing at every flight level he's tried...383.3
0943: The two CADE pilots are still chatting on interflight freq but I haven't heard them check onto the range if they've done that...142.25
1005: Couple of chatters on tanker interflight freq...mention something about Elkins but believe that's only a waypoint, not the IP...143.825
1005: CADE 1 flight still on interflight chatting but haven't heard them anywhere else recently...142.25
1020: The aircraft on the tanker interflight freq are talking about adjusting speeds...one says he can't go any slower than about 268...says he's too heavy today...143.825
1025: CADE 1 flight announces RTB...354.8
(Thanks for the freq Jeff...I flat out missed them entering Pax)
1026: CADE 1 handed off to Patuxent App/Dep...leaving 7000 for 5000 feet...direct Smyrna...314.0
1029: CADE 1 flight handed off to Dover Approach...257.875 (Kind of unusual to go straight from Pax to Dover without a stop on a ZDC freq along the way)
1032: The CADEs are talking about a potential problem...maybe...and one of them is going to practice a single engine landing procedure in case he ever needs it...and they're talking about the possible problems with a single engine landing - reading off the procedures...142.25
1035: CADEs are 10 miles from Dover...flight plan takes them from there to over New Castle, to Philadelphia International and then home...142.25 (Problem is a right engine hot light)
1036: CADE 1 flight handed off to Philadelphia TRACON...where they check in at 5000 feet and say they're looking for a straight in, full stop landing...269.25
1038: CADE 2 to SOF on Ops freq...CADE 1 is Code 3 for right engine hot light and Code 2 for OFP...CADE 2 is Code 2 for MFCD...he explains the problem aboard CADE 1 to the SOF...says they are not declaring IFE at this time...343.0
1040: CADE 1 flight handed off to U-6 (previously confirmed preset), PHiladelphia TRACON where they check in at 5000 feet...319.15
1041: CADE 1 talking about the procedures he needs for the single engine landing...also says he has a fuel imbalance of about 700 pounds between left and right tanks...says the fuel problem began at about RTB time from Pax...142.25
1042: CADE 1 requests lower altitude due to weather...cleared to 3000 from current 5000...319.15
1042: CADE 1 asks CADE 2 if the SOF had any questions...2 explains that he simply described the problem and that it's not serious at this time....142.25
1045: CADE 1 says the right tank has more fuel...(and that's the side with the potential problem and the engine he's going to shut down for landing)...142.25
1045: CADE flight handed off to U-5 (Previously confirmed preset) Philadelphia TRACON and check in at 3000 feet...291.7
1048: Very weak transmissions on the Willow Grove Tower freq but not copiable if this is the CADE flight...340.2
That transmission at 1045 was the last I heard from the CADE flight. I assume they both landed safely. I don't hear the crash trucks rolling out. (IKOC)
1103: RHODY 31 calling RHODY 32 on Ops freq...383.3
Twice in one day for that freq is a new record - and with different aircraft.
1119: Couple of aircraft chatting on 293.7 which I've had used in the past as a STEEL (KC-135 Pittsburgh) interplane freq.
1121: RHODY 31 back on Ops...383.3
1123: The pair chatting on 293.7 talking about speeds...one calls the other "Hawk" but I'm not sure if that was a nickname or a callsign....at altitudes 190 and 200...and these are fighters...it's a flight of 5 aircraft.
1127: HAWK appears to be a flight of five fighter aircraft...there is also a STEEL tanker talking to them...293.7
The HAWK callsign is used by many, many units with many different airframes so impossible to ID them with the info gleaned so far
1130: HAWKs talking about going down to the 15-16000 block to see how conditions are down there...293.7
Don't have these aircraft on any other freq - neither interflight nor ATC but they just got that altitude change from an ATC freq somewhere.
1131: HAWKs talking about asking for the Savannah weather...293.7
1132: STEEL tells HAWKs to squawk 7300 per Center request...HAWK flight leader says they're right on STEEL's wing...293.
1136: FAME 19 (Prob C-21, Keesler AFB MS) calling SHARK Ops on 385.5 but he's probably on the wrong freq...this one is for Atlantic City Approach....Shark Ops of the CT-ANG Bradley should be 349.7
1136: HAWK flight adjusting altitudes and speeds...sounds like they're getting ready for the AR op...293.7
1138: Someone - probably one of the HAWKs - asking for Savannah weather but he's being blocked by noise on the Metro freq...239.8
1143: One of the HAWKs asking the STEEL tanker to pull his speed back to 230..."No problem," says the STEEL....293.7 (STEEL has not used his suffix since I've been listening on this freq)
1154: One of the HAWKs comes back to the freq to report the wx for a couple of locations...one is Cherry Point and the other was blocked...293.7
And I still haven't heard any of them on an ATC freq up to this point. VHF perhaps?
1203: HAWK flight leader asks STEEL to slow down...says they're ready now for the refueling op...293.7
I had assumed they had already refueled after all this time flying together...guess not.
1203: STEEL reports he's slowing down to 220 now for the refueling...and he's talking to Norfolk TRACON...says they'll only be in his airspace for a little bit and then will move on...says they're going to Savannah...370.925 (And I didn't get on the freq in time to hear STEEL's suffix)
Since the fighters are all in a group with the STEEL tanker, I'm guessing STEEL is doing the ATC reporting for all of them. He'd be doing that on VHF which is why I'm not hearing the fighters on the UHF ATC freqs. I don't regularly monitor VHF Center freqs.
1208: First HAWK going to the boom...wants topoff, about 10,000 pounds...293.7
And since these fighters are using the boom method of refueling, we can rule out the four Navy units listed under the HAWK callsign in the database. We can also rule out the C-21 unit that uses that callsign. Also knock off the B-1 and F-117 units and that leaves us with a couple of F-16 units. One is from Shaw and one from Spandahlem Germany. Unlikely to be Shaw.
1213: Another HAWK going to the boom...293.7
A little chat about a minute later and then they fade from my listening range...just too far south now as they should be about 10 minutes flying time south of Norfolk at a fairly low altitude of 15-16000 feet.
1220: Warren Grove Range active...haven't heard any callsigns yet...283.1
1224: U/I A-10s with ZNY-Kennedy 282.3 which are probably the guys at Warren Grove Range.
1227: And those U/I A-10s are using 139.9 for an interflight chat freq which should put the MA-ANG Barnes tag on them.
1250: And it has been dead for about 1/2 hour now so it's break time. Continued below if necessary.

A little chat about a minute later and then they fade from my listening range...just too far south now as they should be about 10 minutes flying time south of Norfolk at a fairly low altitude of 15-16000 feet.
1220: Warren Grove Range active...haven't heard any callsigns yet...283.1
1224: U/I A-10s with ZNY-Kennedy 282.3 which are probably the guys at Warren Grove Range.
1227: And those U/I A-10s are using 139.9 for an interflight chat freq which should put the MA-ANG Barnes tag on them.
1250: And it has been dead for about 1/2 hour now so it's break time. Continued below if necessary.

Very interesting Tony. Thanks. Wish we knew why...we could speculate all day and not know the real reason.

QUOTE=TinEar1208: First HAWK going to the boom...wants topoff, about 10,000 pounds...293.7
And since these fighters are using the boom method of refueling, we can rule out the four Navy units listed under the HAWK callsign in the database. We can also rule out the C-21 unit that uses that callsign.
I heard STEEL 89 asking for wx at Savannah as well as Cherry Point.
It is possible that they could be Marine Corp F-18's as have heard term Boom drogue hose inop etc on previous tankers.Going to the Boom still could be hose method
My guess...
VMFA-553 Hawks MCAS Beaufort F/A-18D

1305: DC ANG up. SCARY, apparent Flight of 2. 143.6
1311: SCARY 1 up with BAYWATCH 354.8. Exclusive use of the Airspace for 2 hours
1321 SCARY push V-5
1326 I think I caught WILD flight up 127.7
1327: WILD 1 giving PIREP in the blind
1356 DOG flight of 2 up 365.7, Likely SALTY DOG from PAX
1357: 143.15 just went active with interplane. No C/S heard
BTW While I am thinking about this. Who is JUSTICE? DC ANG was up with SENATE and asked if JUSTICE was there.
Tinear, Re below, I never have been much for logging live . Once I get my shack set up the way I want, I might start logging but will mostly be by use of recorded comms. So I will be well behind the ball. When I have time I like to at least put out whos up and what freq so others can tune in if available.

Can't log right now but here long enough to mention the F-16s are off the deck at Andrews at 1303. SCARY flight on interflight 143.6 and with TRACON 348.725 for climbout.
1306: SCARY handed off to ZDC-Calvert 281.4 and are direct Patuxent.
1309: SCARY flight to Pax Advisory...305.2...and then to BayWatch...354.8...to R-6609
And about 10 minutes later a single F-16 (WILD 1) leaving Andrews heading for Pax. He's fixed on 139.15 for interflight and makes contact with the SCARYs there - then SCARYs go back to 143.6
1322: CADE 1 flight (A-10 Willow Grove) with Dover Approach...257.875
And you already got them Jeff. They're all yours.
Ref above: By all means Jeff, if you can hear Pax ground stations, it would be great to know what kind of directions they give the aircraft. But cover everything you hear. No telling when I'm here and when I'm not.
And I've really got to get out of here so am turning off the radios or I won't leave.

382.7 Fm
Something kind of interesting. I have been watching 382.7 for a few days now. I keep getting numerous radios checks and test counts. I had it in AM mode and the comms were very garbled. I just figured bad location. I just caught it active and decided to swich over to FM. Comms now clear as a bell.
It's PAX related and now that I can copy it clearer I'll hopefully be able to figure out it's usage.
I guess I should add at this point that I am certain it is GroundSide. Also I have put it in 2 radios. one AM, one FM, They seem to switch back and forth from AM to FM.
