[MilCom] VHF Low Band Military Usage?

[Ken]

Interestingly, we don't see too many posts about the military's use of Low 
Band VHF (30 to 80 mhz).

In my monitoring area, 41.90 NFM is used by the CT ARNG Helos operating out 
of KBDL AASF "Fury Ops".  On occassion 46.75 NFM is used by MA ARNG Helos 
operating out of  KBAF new AASF "Minuteman Ops".

Additionally, USAF/ANG A10's have also used low band VHF or air/air 
air/ground use

(see my prior logs for frequencies in use).



Of course there may also be some low band VHF ground use by ARNG, AR 
Regular, AR Reserve.

As an example the MA ARNG may be using frequencies in the 49.XX-50.XX range.



Please post your findings/loggings to the list.
