Hello Chris & the group.

Pretty exciting to pickup radio comms from CAP aircraft engaged in volunteer 
service either in a real mission or practice mission isn't it!!!???

Chris how far is the mission base from your general monitoring area?

See:  http://www.wulfsberg.com/PDFs/150-040017.B.pdf for calculations on 
line of site air to ground communications range.  OR Distance (Line of 
Sight) = 1.4 X  SQR (Ground Antenna Height + Airborne Antenna Height)

I wonder what interesting facts Mr. Google can tells us about CAP Highbird 
Operations & Procedures? :)
