Mark, a couple of those C-130J Keesler birds you mentioned last night are just arriving at RAF Mildenhall at 1450 (our time). 05-8157 and 05-8152 are arriving as REACH 209 and 869 respectively. I understand they did an RON at CYYT. I'm not sure where the other two are (06-8159 as RCH588 and 05-8158 as RCH264).
Later reports indicate they've all arrived.
."

Rgr Alan seems five 815AS Keesler Birds have arrived at Mildenhall.
What is that,half the squadron? Guess most of the WC-130J's are still here.
Someone has to check out any potential hurricanes here.
Note: Keesler 815 squad # is in the tail # like most new C-130J's these days.

AE1441 05-8152 REACH869 C-130J
AE1443 05-8157 REACH209 C-130J
AE1444 05-8158 REACH 264 C-130J
AE1536 06-8159 REACH588 WC-130J
AE1388 03-8154 REACH455 C-130J

1830: TEFLON 4 arriving in the area...checks in w/HUNTRESS...260.9 (He's using the zero in his suffix on voice - no callsign displayed yet in Mode-S)
TEFLON 4 = KC-135R, 62-3515, 133rd ARS NH-ANG Pease
1835: TEFLON 3 attempts to RTB but HUNTRESS lets him know he's got to wait for his relief...260.9
Note: TEFLON 3 is now calling himself TEFLON 03 (adding the zero).
1836: TEFLON 3 back to Potomac to let them know they aren't ready to RTB until their relief gets in...135.525
1837: TEFLON 3 lets HUNTRESS know that 4 is about 10 minutes out and is coming from Pease (but we knew that...he's still trying to leave apparently by hinting that 4 is closeby.)...260.9
1839: HARASS 43/44 in w/HUNTRESS...260.9
1840: TEFLON 3 again asking for clearance to RTB from Potomac TRACON...135.525
1842: HARASS 43 checking in at FL 230 for entry into Guard Dog...350.25
1843: TEFLON 3 cleared out and handed off to ZDC-Hagerstown 134.15...135.525
1844: HARASS 43/44 heading for tanker TEFLON 4...43 asking the tanker to push it up to 310 (speed)...tanker replies that he's at 315 now...260.9
I've been noticing today they are referencing frequencies with a system I've never heard before. Earlier I heard HARASS fighters call one of the freqs "7Y"...just heard TEFLON 4 make reference to freq "92Y" for HUNTRESS and boom.
1845: TEFLON 4 to Potomac to report he's just entering Guard Dog...135.525
1847: HARASS 41 tells Potomac his flight will be ready to depart in about 2 minutes...350.25
1848: Boomer does a radio check with HARASS 43/44...43 says he'll take 3,000 pounds just as a boom check and 44 will top off...260.9
1851: HARASS 43 off the boom after taking his 3K...44 heading to the boom and is cleared to contact...260.9
1853: HARASS 41/42 told they can RTB...they authenticate C-A-A, get a good authentication from HUNTRESS and off they go...260.9
1854: HARASS 41/42 get RTB clearance from Potomac TRACON...350.25
Looks like TEFLON 4 didn't bother to program a callsign in Mode-S.
1855: HARASS 44 off the boom after taking 6300 pounds...reports back on station to HUNTRESS and gives bullseye check 211/10...260.9
1857: TEFLON 4 asking permission to descend to FL 240 (he had been at 250 since TEFLON 3 was at 240)...135.525
And now everyone is settled into their routines. This should be the last group between now and 2300 when they'll suspend the CAP overnight.

Mode-S moves from KMVY

After last weeks activity with the vacation CAP it has settled back into the more normal mundane level of activity. In an attempt to continue contributing here, i have listed ALL the military hits to my SBS box.
The info may be of interest to some. Let me know if in-appropriate. You can see that i get a lot less traffic than Alan.
Details are as recieved via Mode-S, non of these were monitored on the radio. Info after the callsign is first and last reported altirude and the time, first and last, of contact [local time]. Notes in brackets to the right are mine, deduced from various sources.
Is anyone aware of a way to have columnular info maintain sensible formatting when posted here?

Nice stuff Adrian. Personally, I like to see activity like that - especially from a related area like yours - that is an extension of what happens around here quite often.

If there's way to produce nice, neat columns within this forum, I sure don't know how to do it but have been trying different things ever since I started. One thing that helps is to change the font to "courier new" and it sort of makes columns from our stuff but still is nowhere near perfect. I make the change up there at the top whenever I'm going to post my log. If you've already posted something and go back to edit your post, you've got to click on the "Advanced" button to get that font change window to come back up.

I like the SBS logs as well and use and post them as well as radio logs
but please don't turn this forum into mode S only Euro bulletin style board.
Kind of takes the fun out of radio postings.Just remember it is Maryland Radio Reference.
Not Maryland only SBS logs. :)

After last weeks activity with the vacation CAP it has settled back into the more normal mundane level of activity. In an attempt to continue contributing here, i have listed ALL the military hits to my SBS box.
The info may be of interest to some. Let me know if in-appropriate. You can see that i get a lot less traffic than Alan.
Details are as recieved via Mode-S, non of these were monitored on the radio. Info after the callsign is first and last reported altirude and the time, first and last, of contact [local time]. Notes in brackets to the right are mine, deduced from various sources.
Is anyone aware of a way to have columnular info maintain sensible formatting when posted here?

Adrian,

Personally I find all the SBS logs useful---I oly work the voice end of stuff so these logs really help me tie in some of the stuff I hear---as well as my radio stuff every now and then helping to clear up some SBS "mysteries."

Re: SBS Logs

Mark, guys,

I like the SBS logs too guys, but I'll be honest here, although I have been busy lately, my interest in the Forum has dropped a little as I see it leaning a bit too hard over to the SBS side. Don't get me wrong though, the SBS information is very much appreciated, but I must echo Mark's sentiments here, the format of supplementing radio intercept logs with SBS info is much more useful and interesting ot me than just SBS-only posts.

Best regards,

Tony

I like the SBS logs as well and use and post them as well as radio logs
but please don't turn this forum into mode S only Euro bulletin style board.
Kind of takes the fun out of radio postings.Just remember it is Maryland Radio Reference.
Not Maryland only SBS logs. :)

Mark

Tin,

1020- Raven 1 (4 X A-10Cs, 104th FS MD ANG MTN)-reporting hydraulic system malfunction to Raven SOF (347.2). Raven 1 confirms that hydraulic fluid is leaking on the side of the acft--concerned about having enough pressure to lower the landing gear.

I just got here Ron so wasn't aware of the RAVEN problem. What was the final result? Did it land safely?
*******************************

Back to the discussion about SBS (or RB) reports....
First, let me say that I don't think anyone has suggested we go to a Mode-S only format here. At least I can't find where anyone has suggested that but, if I missed the post that did, please point me in the right direction so I can find it.

Mode-S is simply a tool (an imperfect one to be sure) but yet one of the most prolific providers of military flight information that has ever come along to support this hobby. I don't know about anyone else, but no matter how hard I listen and no matter how many scanners I have scanning, I only find a small percentage of the aircraft overhead this area when I match my voice intercepts with what the Mode-S log provides. Then, even if I do catch the radio call, I'm not satisfied to hear "REACH 3600 checking in at FL 370" with a particular ARTCC controller. That tells me next to nothing. Take another look, for instance, at what Adrian provided above - the destination of many of those flights. That took a lot of work scanning various boards from around the world to learn what other listeners heard. That puts meaning and a finality to the one line I heard from REACH 3600 to now know it was on its way to Ramstein AB. Just hearing a flight and identifying it doesn't satisfy my curiosity as a result of listening to a scanner or monitoring my Mode-S logs. I want more of the overall picture. Perhaps that isn't everyone else's quest in this hobby but it's mine and I would hope others look at it the same way. If so, we need it all. If not, just pick the parts you care about.

No, I don't want just Mode-S reports here. I want the voice logs and I want the interpretations of what you heard - but I also want the information provided by Mode-S to enhance the overall picture. I especially want the information that tells me what the flight I noted (whether on Mode-S or voice) was really doing when it reported in overhead this area.

My personal opinion of the value of Mode-S I can equate to someone that copies only police/fire voice transmissions but refuses to buy a digital capable scanner in this area. Yeah, you can get a few things and that's okay but you're sure missing the bulk of what's happening. I simply want as much information as possible so the use of every tool available is of benefit to me whether I can afford to own it or someone else owns it. Your information from whatever source is welcome and encouraged - whether it comes from a radio/scanner, Mode-S, your visit to an Air Force base or simply from reading other boards and relating the information to what was reported in this area.

But that's just me. I'm sure others don't care for all that and are satisfied with some other level of information and are perfectly content with just hearing a couple of military flights within range of their antenna. And that's fine. Everone is in the hobby for their own reasons and it doesn't need to be a homogenized outlook. It all counts and it is all welcome.

Tin,

It went on for quite awhile while Raven and the SOF sorted things out. He finally landed safely and Raven 2 & 3 went on ---as far as I could tell to Syracuse.

As for the SBS discussion---Tin you said it well.

Both SBS and good voice logs are our best chance of getting a good "picture" of what's happening in our area.

I too like to know,"who" it was, "what" it was, "where" it's from and "what" it's doing & "where" it's going.

Let's keep both of them coming hot & heavy :)
