COUGAR OPS and TANKER-11. Can't hear BIGFOOT on this freq, but oddly enough he is 
blasting in 5 X 5 on 296.70. Is probably being simulcast on this freq from 
271.00. PEAKs also using 121.50 to chase off TRF busters.

15,000; climbing to 260. Switching 263.00 and requesting FL 410 and direct Peoria

Switch 317.55. ((Sounds like he came out of Grand Junction))

121.00:  REACH 341T, (C-17A), land.
372.20:  JOSA-235, (C-21A), passing takeoff  time from Jeffco (KBJC)

430.
121.60:  REACH 345T, (C-17A, McChord), cleared to Andrews.
296.70:  Wierd stuff. 121.50 warnings being simulcast on this freq to TRF 
busters near Waco, TX. Warnings usually follow a set format like: "United States 
Air Force on Guard" followed by Az/Rng from Waco VOR of the violator, his 
heading, Squawk, altitude, the fact that he is violating the TFR, directions to 
nearest exit from TFR and instructions to squawk "Ident" and contact ATCC 
(Robert) Gray Approach on 120.075 or 118.45;  or Fort Worth Center on 133.30 or 
135.375. Kinda makes one think that 296.70 is nation-wide net that can simulcast 
from anywhere IN the nation.
239.025: ENJEP-06, (Trainer, Sheppard), land Colorado Springs. ((Did not 
sound like a T-37. More like a T-38 or T-6. Does Sheppard have T-6's yet??))

Switch 319.00. Not joy there, so go 306.90. Switch 354.15. No joy there, so 
go 346.25. ((Was either a flight of 2 or an "F" model, as there were two 
different voices yelling at Center trying to wake them up. Lots of trouble with 
319.00 lately))
291.675:  FASTEAGLE-55, flight of 2, (F/A-18F, VFA-41, Lemoore), land; then 
on to Fort Smith.
