I figured he'd be up there this weekend. Thursday night I was listening to the Catoctin Park police, some woman called about some suspicious people stopped along the road, one of the vehicles was a u-haul and they told her they were having a meeting when she asked if she could help them. A unit was sent to go check it out, but a minute later another unit advised that it was just the Secret Service.

1510 local - Viper 02 with radio checks on 135.525

Must not be Viper, heard someone calling in behalf of Sniper 1 and 2 on 135.525 at 18:17 local, then Sniper 01 on 135.525 at 18:18 discussing RTB plan saying they'd be on station for about another 45 mike then direct Burlington 260-270 block.

Ramrod flight has the cap starting at 19:00 local, using 300.025 for interflight.

228.9 in use starting about 19:00 local.

Guard Dog CAP 08-05-2012

Cosmic 43 (who sometimes says he's 41) and 44 are the first shift. They were using 138.2 heading in before 0600. Have since been using 260.9, including for AR, where they are loud and clear but I can't hear Huntress from my location.

1210 local- Had SKULL 29 "Heavy", checking in with Boston 254.375. First time I've heard "heavy" on the ID of these guys. I'm guessing B52 out of Barksdale.

1930 local- Hearing what sounds like YANKEE CAP. Nothing listed in TFRs. SLAM 31 on station using 228.9 w/HUNTRESS advising RTB, Unknown if this is it or another group is coming in. Google search shows POTUS at various fundraisers in CT and NYC.
Also heard a possible intercept earlier.
Discussed in another thread. http://forums.radioreference.com/military-monitoring-forum/246174-toi-f15s-scramble.html#post1797736

Yes they are B52's from Barksdale. They pass through my area from time to time on the way to Ft Drum in NY for range training. Had simulated bombing runs last week. I hear them usually inbound and outbound on center freqs and some of the range freqs. The area is up near the eastern end of the adirondacks. It's just about the edge of my listening area.

1215 local- The usual flight testing out of Lakehurst on 255.7 with GLARE 03 and GYPSY
1445 local- Had what sounded like BANDIT 02 passing through on 282.3 and 290.2. Audio was so muffled and loud it was hard to make out. Hopefully some one else caught him on the air or on a box.

[reconrider8]

just a question for you guys what antennas and how high do you guys run? im just about to get my simi tower up and wondering what hardware you guys are using to pick up this traffic and how high up? and what coax ect

I found best results with either the Diamond Discone or Scantenna. (Although the Discone is more sturdy). Don't skimp on coax if over 20 feet in length. I use LMR-400 at about a 50 ft run. Belden 9913 cable is also a good choice. Always get your antenna as high as possible but for milair, height isn't terribly important if your near most of the action.

Im not in a good area lol
