[MilCom] Middle TN Area/August 1, 2007

[Joe Cobb]

All times are local (CST).  Kind of a rough evening
for catching AR participant callsigns.  But i did get
most numbers.

MUSIC OPS/CP:  322.9
105th AS/118th AW  (KBNA, TN ANG, C-130H)

MUSIC 83
MUSIC 20 x 2 (A2A: 292.0)
MUSIC 30 x 2 (A2A: 292.0)

If you hadn't guess it by now, when you hear a MUSIC
"flight" you can bet 292.0 is a2a
------------------------------------------------------
1020:  240.35--AR-633A/B (pri) then switched 343.25
       (sec), TOPCAT 02 (KC-135E, 141st ARS/108th ARW,
       McGuire/NJ ANG) conducts AR Ops W/SENTRY 61 
       (E-3, 552nd ACW, Tinker)

Not sure why they went to secondary.  Never heard
anyone on primary

1024:  233.75--Jstars/AWACS, test count

1025:  MUSIC 83 (C-130H) departs Nashville (KBNA)
       118.6>118.4  (RTB @ 1050) (had some issue)

1050:  255.4--Nashville Radio (FSS), GUARD 23620
       (UH-60A, 4/278th ACR, Smyrna, #81-23620)

Checking on the Graham VOR "is it operational or out
of service?"

1112:  277.7--126th ARW CP, unid tanker asking to 
       file a flight plan from Hanscomb to Boston 
       Logan then to Oklahoma City

1125:  TALON 65 (T-45C, VT-7/TAW-1, Meridian) 
       W/Atlanta Ctr 354.05>, Memphis Ctr 363.0>, Indy
       Ctr 348.625  (FL410, neg RVSM)

1132:  TALON 16 (T-45C, Meridian) same route as 65

TALON 65/16 A2A was on 246.8  They weren't a flight
but maybe 15 mins apart.

1205:  PAT 1268 (C-12T) lands Nashville (KBNA) 124.75>
       118.6  (departs @ 1415)

1207:  PAT 517 (??) lands Nashville (KBNA) 118.4>
       124.75>118.6  (departs later)

1217:  348.9--AR-111, RAID 31 (KC-135R, 319th ARW, 
       Grand Forks/ND ANG) conducts AR Ops W/SENTRY 05
       (E-3, 552nd ACW, Tinker)

RAID 30 was also on scene but bugged out after his AR
time

1232:  RAID 31 (KC-135R, Grand Forks) W/Memphis Ctr
       122.275>124.275  (passing end of AR request)

1248:  MUSIC 20 x 2 (C-130H) departs Nashville (KBNA)
       118.6>118.4  (RTB @ 1420)

1250:  MOON 18 (T-1A, 48th FTS/14th FTW, Columbus)
       shoots approaches @ Smyrna (KMQY) 119.35>118.4>
       118.5

1600:  MOON 47 (T-1A, Columbus) shoots approaches @
       Smyrna (KMQY) 118.4>118.5

1915:  MUSIC 30 x 2 (C-130H) departs Nashville (KBNA)
       118.6>118.4  (RTB @ 2040)

1950:  343.25--AR-315, _________ 62 conducts AR Ops
       W/_______ 80

2030:  319.7--AR-111 (sec), unid tanker conducts AR 
       Ops w/SENTRY 07 (E-3, 552nd ACW, Tinker)

2055:  ARMY xx650 x 2 lands Campbell AAF (KHOP) 
       134.35>120.9  (A2A: 242.4)

242.4 is the Corregidore DZ UHF freq.  My guess is
these two helos were in it and just stayed with 242.4
for their a2a

2100:  395.15--Jstars, NIGHTSTAR (E-8C) W/various 
       simulated assets

2110:  ARMY 10500 (MH-47E, 2-160th SOAR, #91-00500)
       W/Nashville TWR 257.8  (passing thru the area)

2255:  TOKA 11 (M?/H?/C?-130) W/Nashville A/D 119.35
       (reported off Campbell and enroute to the Hench
       Mountain VOR)  

ID'd just as a C-130 as they usually do. I hardly ever
hear them id as a MC-130, HC-130, etc.  I heard him
spell part of his cs as Oscar, Kilo, Alpha

Also the SPICA orbit is running a late night shift
this evening (very rare) and 395.15 is still active. 
According to the SUA website it should be running one
more hour and a half ending @ 0530Z or 0030L.
