Lots of AWACS activity this morning. DRAGNET VICTOR back up with OAK GROVE, OAKIE SAM and DRAGNET UNIFORM.
 
Picked up DRAGNET VICTOR's front end SENTRY 41 coordinating refuel with JAKE 12 on Hou Center VHF 133.5 (McComb, MS discrete). I don't normally monitor KZHU VHF due to the heavy amount of civilian traffic, and very few to no military comms, but it seemed lots of the refueling traffic and others operated on both today. SENTRY 41 & JAKE 12 worked off AR-302 (366.3)
