[MilCom] Interesting Intercept

[Ken]

Well that's a VERY interesting monitoring catch BUT what's surprising is 
that no one
was able to pickup the tanker callsign on a typical ATC frequency OR 
"Stinger's" callsign.

I guess the other question is what was the signal strength & any idea what 
direction
it was from your location ( Amarillo TX)??
