+ more comms at 2118Z-2123Z on 260.9 on the way home earlier: 
 
2118Z  PITMAN 24 coordinating air-to-air rufeling with HUNTRESS and  TANKER 14. 
 
2123Z:  PITMAN 24 gives HUNTRESS (now audible near Centreville QTH so presume 
xmtr site is Potomac TRACON - probably not news to anyone else in the area, but 
it is for me! 8-) ) PIREP. 

Best regards,
