Rich,

Thanks for your log report.

I live about 12 miles (as the A-10 flies) WSW from Willow Grove.  I see the
A-10's passing by several times per week.  I've monitored what I thought was
the A-10's before on 46.75 MHz.

I don't have UHF milair capability (I need to look into that), so I have a
questions regarding your logging.  Why did the Ugly flights split up and
operate on two different Willow Grove GCA channels?

I will, from time to time, monitor CAP flights on 143.825, 139.625, and
138.425.  Because of my limited scanning capability (one scanner and lots of
stuff to hear) and my antenna limitations (either rubber duck at the apartment
or magmount in the car), I don't usually devote too much time to milair
scanning.  Becuase of this, I enjoy seeing reports from others that have
confirmed frequencies for the area I'm in.
