[MilCom] Re: [MilRadioComms] NORAD's OakGrove still ignoring calls

[Larry Van Horn, N5FPW]

There was NO NOTAM notice I can find on this. The only thing I have seen was 
an AF News Service Story which is were I picked up the story for the blog. I 
want to update the NORAD freq list on the blog, but until I can confirm what 
has been turned over, etc. I'm not going to post anything.

Contrary to some previous speculation. I doubt very seriously that we will 
see any NEW freqs down here when Huntress gets things shaken out. The 
remotes and existing bandplan that Oak Grove used will probably carry over 
when Huntress has the ball.

This is what I saw when Big Foot absorbed Sierra Pete on the west coast. And 
to those who asked on private email, nope I do not have the new boundaries 
yet. NORAD has NOT released any graphic of the new regions in quite 
sometime. They are on my list to call. When I get a new graphic I will share 
it by posting it on the MT Milcom Blog (address below).

73 all and good hunting,
