Hello Maryland Radio Discussion Forum, it's GREat to see you guys sharing the Mil-Air action up there
I scan through these sticky MilAir threads and the thought keeps running through my mind to ask
you folks if you could suggest say a few (10-ish) esoteric Mil-Air freqs that are might pan out to
listen to down here in San Antonio, Texas. I have all the freqs posted in RR for our SATX Airport,
Randolph AFB and Lackland AFB programmed in my Pro-106. I have separate scanlists for
Commercial Air and Military Air. I want to spice up my Mil-Air freqs with some new exotics ???
I'm thinking ANG-F16's, USAF Tankers if they even refuel within RX range of SATX ??? Hmm ...
I am using the RS Disconne Antenna 20-043. I'd be truly GREatful for some cQQl ideas to try )

Re: C-20C 86-0403

Guys,

The last time I heard this one (SAM 60403) was on 11.04.2009, which until you pointed it out, I did not realize it had been so long since I'd heard this one.

I'll see if I can find out what is going on with this one.

Tony

The last time I logged it was 9/16/2009.

Re: Logs 10 Feb

Ron,

I had the DRAGO 51 flight (counted off as a flight of 4) up with PT APP 279.575 in the 1930Z hour coming in at 12K-4K headed VFR 3.5K to OTT, TOT 2002Z. DRAGO 2 ground control also heard at the time. I don't have my logbook with me at the moment, so I don't have an exact time.

Tony

1515- Drago 51 (unid ftr)-w/ZDC Calvert (281.4) cleared up to FL260.

I thought the falcon virgo exercise was last night.

I thought the falcon virgo exercise was last night.

Unless they were doing it without the Civil Air Patrol Cessnas, it didn't happen.


2252- On the Guard Dog VHF freq 135.525 I'm hearing the controller for the Harrisburg area apparently. Talking to BATON22 96-8154 departing.

 

[listen13579]

Falcon Virgo is going on tonight in the 12am hour. 139.7 has been active with BIGFOOT, BLACKJACK 1 and SNIPER 01/02

Tacamo

Guys,

1700 EST--Got some readability checks on 310.15---not sure if TACAMO is taking off or landing at PAX
1708 EST Bay 97 (East Coast TACAMO) w/Huntress (364.2) for modes & codes checks.

That was 164410.


For Falcon Virgo last night, initially I think they were talking to ATC on 350.25 (I was in bed and didn't bother to check) because I could hear the controller. I guess the SNIPER flight didn't hear him to well and asked for another freq. ATC gave them a VHF freq. They said that wouldn't work since they need the VHF radio for the exercise (139.7). They were given 343.7 for ATC. Based on this I don't think it would be too likely to hear them using an air-to-air freq, at least not during the exercise.


Today logged AE1EAF showing KNHK for a flight ID.
