Yes indeed, many are gone but we've got at least CRAB 56/57/58 that are somewhere around this area and someone is in control of them. I would think there has to be an Ops freq somewhere even if they were down to a single aircraft.
1025: NJ-ANG active on «138.45» buddy last ground attacks
1026: VA-ANG flight leaving GIANT KILLER area and RTB Richmond «238.1»

1112: There are Navy fighters all over the Pax River area in flight testing roles but I can't stay with them to capture callsigns due to listening time constraints at the moment.
1255: Langley tac freq «252.775» active. It's a flight of two aircraft and continues well into the 1300 hour.
1347: Looks like we finally may have some action starting. Have Raven Ops on «347.2» talking with A-10s on the ground. They should be in the air soon....I hope.
1351: NJ-ANG flight of two is airborne and using tac freq «138.425»
1352: Someone is in the GIANT KILLER area on «373.1» It sounds like a flight of four I heard travelling through the ZDC on Bucks Elbow and Linden freqs but couldn't for the life of me catch the callsign. All I got was the suffix of 31. The activity is all very weak from here.
1353: Activity on the Warren Grove Range «283.1»
1404: U/I aircraft landing at Langley using Command Post freq «251.25» says he's dropping off a Space A pax and picking up an A-4 to take to Offutt (AFB).

1419: Flight of two A-10s from Martin State MD-ANG is airborne on «142.3» They were doing the instructor/student chat as they flew out...heard them about another two minutes and then they just disappeared from listening range.
1423: BICEP flight heard on «305.2» (I'll have to look up that freq...can't remember who it belongs to. I know it's used for Patuxent GCA but that doesn't seem reasonable for this flight. They were giving altitude info while using it.)
1424: BICEP flight into BayWatch area using «270.8» report they'll be there about 30 minutes.
1426: REACH 8226 tells Langley he'll release 73 seats on the outbound leg. «251.25»

1455: BICEP flight to U-7 on «285.4» with ZDC-Sea Isle at 15,500 FL...then descending down to 7.5 at 1457...push U-6 at 1458 and they should come up on 261.0 as a result.
1500: CRATE 41 (F-15 Langley), flight of four with GK on «391.2» and another flight of three (no callsign heard) with GK on «292.3»
1503: Have two U/I fighters chatting on «141.9» which is a Shaw AFB tac freq but haven't heard them use a callsign yet.
1504: Hearing activity on Warren Grove Range «283.1»
1505: U/i flight of two entering GK's area using «249.8» callsign sounds like RASTER (F-15 Langley) and they say they'll be MARSA with CRATE.
1511: U/I flight working with Andrews Command Post on «141.55» says he has 386.8 for the Navy but wants a VHF freq. Andrews gives him 122.85 for the Navy and the aircraft repeats the freq. (So I program that freq and what do I hear? Nothing, nada, zip. Guess he used it and was gone by the time I set it up.)

1516: MCGRUFF (A-10, 103rd Fighter Wing, CT-ANG Bradley) flight heard with ZNY-Flint Hill on «290.2» and then with ZNY-Colts Neck NJ on «307.8» Probably going to Warren Grove but MCGRUFF flight leader started to call RANGER while on 307.8 and that callsign has been associated in the past with the Bollen Range. (Here's where you can clear this up carbineone...I don't have a firm callsign for the Warren Grove Range.)
1519: Gear down full stop landing by the COLTs on «297.2»
1526: Langley freq «364.125» active. Fighters with SPAD Ops.
1528: LION 41 flight (F-15 Langley) into GK's area using «249.8»
1529: Martin State flights of both COLT and RAVEN were up...I think COLTs have all landed and RAVENs are about to land. «142.3/297.2/347.2» (Nope...other way around....COLTs are both Code 1 and about to land now.)
1530: Langley tac freq «252.775» active.
1536: Army Copter 627 to Weide Advisory on «126.2» says he's over the Bush River now and has hazardous cargo to drop off.
1541: MCGRUFF flight already back to ZNY-Colts Neck on «307.8» for the trip home. Guess they can't stay too long at the range because of distance from/back to Bradley.
1600: END OF REPORT...until later in the day. Thanks for the help with the Warren Grove Range today carbineone and thanks for that Bradley tac freq which I didn't have.
Good catch carbineone...was wondering if that's where the A-10s went. I've got a very loud buzzing noise mixing with all my freqs today and making it difficult to hear some of the traffic. It's annoying to say the least.
And thanks for confirming the RANGER callsign for Warren Grove.
