Radio Monitors Test -- Pass, Fail, Review? Re: [MilCom] Music on UHF MilAir band

[Ken]

Well the frequency noted below per Grove's "Military Frequency Directory" 
2nd edition, is listed primarily as an US Army Air to Ground training 
frequency.  Perhaps they were just fooling around with a ground station. 
Might even have been just a test to see how far they could be heard when 
flying at a particular altitude.

OR perhaps your area was targeted by the rumored new investigative task 
force that analyzing how much milcom monitoring hobbyists really know!!!  I 
think you past!!! :) ;)

Subject: [MilCom] Music on UHF MilAir band



While scanning today, my scanner stopped on 246.8, with some very weak music 
playing. It got stronger and stronger
until I heard crystal clear music playing....Bon Jovi, the B-52's....then it 
slowly faded out. At precisely the same time, an Army uh-60 flew through the 
area. Question is...does the crew play music while in flight? Why would it 
have been broadcast over the air? Any insight would be helpful.
