Absolutely no orderwire in this band. That is unique to the 225-400 MHz 
milair band. I have zero on this freq for your area Steve. Which scanner did 
you hear this on? You could be getting an image or mixing product from 
another area of the spectrum. This is a USAF assignment and there is A2A 
here but nothing wideband. I would say wtch it close and if you don't see it 
again, scratch it off the database. ;-)
