[MilCom] Research Information Availability/Postings & Other Lists

[Ken]

Well after pondering a bit, I've decided that AT THIS TIME that my US IFR 
Supplement research/summmary reports WILL NOT BE DISTRIBUTED TO ANYONE, 
whether they are very active poster or a in the shadows lurker -- I'm going 
to work it into a better format, taking more time --- perhaps it will be 
available sometime after the holidays & it WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO 
EVERYONE WHO WANTS IT.  If you folks search the archives (April 2004) of the 
list you will see a previous posting of most of what I would have been 
posted this time around anyways, albeit there's probably been some 
changes -- haven't had the time to analyze this.   So now all of you can be 
angry at me!!!!

As far as the US IFR Supplement research, for those folks that can't wait or 
want to research & post the information. You can use the search function in 
acrobat reader with the following terms (searched individually) that will 
yield some very good information:  "ARNG OPS",  "ANG OPS", "COMD POST", 
"FLT FOLLOWING", "FLIGHT FOLLOWING", "MEDEVAC OPS", "PTD", "PMSV", "RANGE", 
"RANGE CONTROL".  There may be other terms & a better way to extract the 
information depending upon the software available to you

AGAIN, I like to emphasize to all of you, that the list is only as good as 
what ALL, again ALL 'enrolled'/'subscribed' hobbyists decided to submit to 
the group -- ideally an OCCASIONAL (as in once a month)  logging would be 
great.  There's many areas of the country we don't get reports from.   Very 
simple summary format:   CALLSIGN (acft type if known), LIST OF ACTIVE 
FREQUENCIES MONITORED during the report period (and description of 
frequencies) -- very easy to record and report!!!

You will continue to see my monthly logging summaries as in the past, as my 
commitment to this list; and of course and occasional editorial to get you 
lurkers all fired up!!!!

Also again, BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO ALL!!!!
