Sticky Thread For MilAir VI (2011)

[mdmonitor]

Finally got a clean hit on that 126.200 at 1245 today.
World Airways 8521 calling Cherry Point Base Ops 126.200 "inbound with
310 happy soldiers".
UHF pairing is listed as 305.700

VFMA-122 FA/18 squadron deployed last Nov for a 7 month mission to Afghansistan.
Possible they are coming home soon.

Mark,

Nice catch. I've heard 305.7 several times but never heard Cherry Pt on 126.2. Odd pairing---126.2 is normally an Army allocation.

Guys,

1015 EDT- Just had CAP Flight 1801 (Civil Air Patrol) on 157.15 FM (CG Chnl 23A) working with both CG Radio Cove Point and CG Sector Baltimore. CAP 1801 wanted to know if the CG need any help with an on-going SAR. Sector Baltimore adivsed that they had a CG helo in the area and that no assistance was needed right now.

First time I've heard the Civil Air Patrol work with the CG on their marine freqs.

Guys,

The story below must've been what I was hearing.



PRESS RELEASE
MARYLAND STATE POLICE
Barrack "X" Princess Anne
30581 Perry Road
Princess Anne, Maryland 21853

(Somerset County, MD) -- After coordinated efforts by Federal, State, and Local
authorities, two overdue female kayakers, ages 60 and 52, from Mechanicsville,
VA, were located in the marsh off of Smith Island, MD, in the early morning
hours of May 29, 2011.

On 5-28-11 at approximately 9:17 p.m. Maryland State Police, Special Operations
Division was notified by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) of an
activated 406 MHz Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) being received by Search and
Rescue Satellites. As per protocol, a Civil Air Patrol Aircraft with detection
finding equipment was launched from Annapolis, MD, and dispatched to the area
Southwest of Smith Island. Two MSP helicopters, Trooper 4 (Salisbury) and
Trooper 7 (Southern Maryland), were activated and responded to the area. The
U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police (NRP), and the
Ewell Volunteer Fire Department dispatched several boats to assist with the
rescue. Personnel from the Maryland State Police, Princess Anne Barrack also
responded.

At approximately 10:26 p.m. with search and rescue assets responding, the Coast
Guard received further information of a flare sighting in the area, and the
report of two overdue kayakers.

At 11:35 p.m. Civil Air Patrol aircraft arrived on station, detected the
beacon's signal, and began an aerial search. Two subjects were subsequently
located, waving flashlights at the aircraft. The victims were found in a small
creek in the middle of the marsh off Smith Island. The Coast Guard established
communication with the victims via marine radio. Due to the location of the
kayakers, MSP Helicopter Trooper 7 prepared for a hoist operation. Due to the
victims' hesitancy to enter the rescue basket, the hoist operation was unable to
be completed. Trooper 7 stayed over head and assisted as a NRP boat and a Ewell
Fire boat navigated several small creeks through the marsh in order to locate
the victims. After contact over marine radio was established between the boats
and the victims, the NRP boat, with MSP personnel on board, located both
victims.

At 12:46 am on 5-29-11, both subjects were safely on the NRP boat with no
injuries. A Trooper interviewed the subjects as the boat returned to Ewell
dock, and learned the following;

On 5-28-11 at 1:30 p.m. the two subjects departed Ewell, Smith Island, on a
group kayaking trip around the island. At 4:30 p.m. the subjects separated from
the group, and decided to travel a different route back. Approximately 6:30
p.m., their GPS took them on a route believed to be a shortcut across the marsh.
The subjects got misdirected and once it got dark they activated a Personal
Locator Beacon. Subsequently, the subjects noticed an aircraft circling
overhead, and gained the aircraft's attention by waving a flashlight. The
aircraft was the Civil Air Patrol, which remained on scene up to the rescue.
Both subjects advised they were tired and wet, however not injured.

On 5-29-11 at approximately 1:30 a.m., after several hours on the water, both
females and their equipment were reunited with their tour group on Smith Island,
MD.

Martin Tower on 229.4 simolcast?

Hey all,
Sounds like Martin State tower is simolcasting on 229.4 Weide ops.
Sounds like it is the VHF side of the tower because I can also hear civilian aircraft.
Real good signal here in Timonium. Kinda strange!!!!

Mark,

Nice catch. I've heard 305.7 several times but never heard Cherry Pt on 126.2. Odd pairing---126.2 is normally an Army allocation.

126.2 was common among USN and USMC as either a tower or ground frequency. It was paired with 360.2 and 340.2 here at NAS Weymouth tower before closing.

High Alt Acft

Guys,

1159 EDT- Have Triton 41 up on 118.125 w/Giant Killer arranging his exit from W386 back to PAX. He's now at FL590 and will descend to FL510.

He's also using callsign Triton 10 but it's the same voice.


Did aynone get him on a box?

136.275

Guys,

Just had an interesting catch:

0855 EDT- Jenna 120 (FBI CESSNA 560, N557PG Manassas, VA)-w/WFO (FBI Field Office, Wash DC) and acft 800 (unid) on discrete (136.275) that they just departed Manassas and will be working about 15 miles from Manassas at 12,500ft. Acft 800 acknowledges and advises that they will be working the area round the Potomac River.

Have heard few xmissions on this freq in the last few weeks but this really ties it down. Would bet that FBI or Homeland Security uses this freq in other parts of the country so might be good idea to plug in 136.275 AM in your radios.

 

[Tech792]

I have also heard similar transmissions on 136.275 recently. Sometimes its "yes sir, no sir." Other times just casual chat. I caught the ID of 5800 but it could have been 800. I get a lot of JENNA flights out of Lakehurst NAS on a daily basis. But the numbers are usually only 2 digits (ex JENNA 51).

06/02/11
at 1250 local- picking up some kind of airborne video link testing on 255.7 .....thought I heard ID as GYPSIE

Civil Air Patrol

Guys,

0950 EDT- Have a CAP flt up on 149.275 talking about locating an ELT on 121.775---first time I've heard that freq in ref to ELTs

0959 EDT- Looks like we might have CAP exercise going on. I have CAP flts 1801, 1854, 1856, 1822 1876, & 1828 up at the moment. A couple of them are up over Hardford County airport searching for ELTs. Others are working with Martin ICP (Incident Command Post) at Martin State Airport. Some of them are also on 150.5625.

Just found this on the Maryland CAP site--explains what we're hearing:

MIDDLE RIVER, MD—Every two years the United States Air Force conducts an extensive assessment of each Civil Air Patrol wing’s ability to safely and effectively carry out assigned Emergency Services missions. This weekend is Maryland Wing’s chance to demonstrate its ability to carry out Air Force assigned missions in a professional, effective, and safe manner. An evaluation team from the U.S. Air Force will observe Maryland Wing’s response to a notional emergency scenario that unfolds over the course of the weekend. While some aspects of this response will be simulated, in most regards Maryland Wing will respond as it would under actual emergency conditions. This includes standing up an Incident Command Post (ICP) at Martin State Airport as well as activating aircrews and ground teams from units across the state. These crews and teams, along with the ICP staff, will perform their assigned missions under as realistic conditions as possible, including working around unexpected circumstances such as simulated power outages.
