USCG Aux flights operate within Sector Delaware Bay's territory. I sometimes
hear check-ins on marine 23A, 81A, 82A, or 83A. Sorry, I don't recall exactly
which of these frequencies the CGAUX flights use since all of these are used by
Sector Delaware Bay. One of the AUX aircraft operates out of the Reading
Regional Airport in Berks County, PA.
I've heard the aircraft doing patrols along the Philadelphia, PA region
waterfront and also flying from Reading to SFO Atlantic City, NJ.
