Per the Grove Military/Master Freq Directory:

250.525 USN Fallon NAS NV Range Control/Operations B-17/B-19.

This one has been in use since my Navy days on the Desert. In fact, we had 
handheld units with that freq in it we used when we walked those ranges 
looking for our wayward LGBs our F/A-18s messed up on. ;-))
