USAF-Hostil Aircraft Exercise Today in Texas !!!

It was anounced both yesterday and today that there will be a drill today between 12pm and 2pm
over airspace just north of San Antonio between Blanco and Junction involving low flying aircrafts.
The media wanted to put this out ahead of time so the public would not think anything was wrong ;)

The name of this drill was announced as "Felix Hawk" and was reported to involve a few F-15's
It was reported to involve the USAF engaging low flying hostile / errant aircraft.

WOAI 1200AM today keeps saying we will see "Twelve O'Clock High" action and don't be alarmed !

I hope some folks ( and Lindsay ) are in position to monitor the action and which frequencies used ?

I will be at work at 1pm up US 281 North closer to the action :) Any guesses which freqs will be best ?

A2A Chat Helos 123.025000 AM I doubt it will be used ?
A2A Chat Planes 123.450000 AM maybe ?
A2A Chat Planes2 122.750000 AM maybe ?
AirEmergency-VHF 121.500000 AM would not think so ?
AirEmergency-UHF 243.000000 AM would not think so ?
USAF Air-2-Air-1 286.000000 AM don't know ?
USAF Air-2-Air-2 303.000000 AM don't know ?
USAF ANG-F16's 143.600000 AM don't know ? (media said F-15's etc.)
USAF EAM Message 323.800000 AM don't think so.

Any ideas of the best freqs to monitor to try to catch the action today ?

Anybody monitor this and know what freqs were used, I was busy and could not listen after all, etc.
Other that lots of RAFB and LAFB hits, this freq stood out showing some activiity between 12-2pm.
USAF ACM Air Dsc 375.825000 AM 11 Hits

I saw this article from last years "Felix Hawk" excercise over Austin, Texas airspace.
Air Force exercise takes place in Austin skies

Also this article from last years "Felix Hawk" excercise over Central Oregon airspace.
US Air Force's WADS conducts Felix Hawk exercise - Airforce Technology

Here are some recordings from a Conventional Discovery Mode I did yesterday on my new toy ;)

ps~Don't know if these 2 short catches on 122.9500 were part of the Felix Hawk excercise ? The 123.0000 has nothing to do with Felix Hawk.
Also, thinking that Gliders would be towed up and released at a higher altitude than 2700 ft ~ hmm, that seems low and would be a short ride ?
