[MilCom] Coastal GA MilCom; 23 Feb 2005

Wed Feb 23 21:23:43 EST 2005

I had sporadic monitoring opportunities today, but it turned
out to be a great monitoring day.  Among today's highlights:

**Doubleshot's discretes of 258.400 and 381.350 were
     assigned to aircraft in W-157 this morning.  I hope
     there wasn't anyone trying to use them in Doubleshot's 
     area at the time...
**JSTARS, A-10s, and F/A-18s worked some strikes in
     Townsend Range this afternoon.  During the same time
     frame, there was an E-3 off the coast working W-157,
     but I didn't track the activity.  The FAC comms on 
     Townsend Range were much more interesting.
