       275.35, 237.8)

284.25 was really the "serious" freq with BOSS

1120:  DIXIE 35 finishes W/GRITS 39 and picks up 
       sister ship GRITS 35 for AR Ops on AR-315

       ANG) 

Kept getting interference (bleedover) on primary
240.35 so chose to use secondary.  This has been
happening a lot lately since the changeover.  It
wasn't a problem with 295.8  Also, SODA 91 boom inop,
PEACH 33 agreed to a few pre-contacts and an emergency
separation then called it quits.

1230:  287.3--DIXIE Ops, DIXIE 35 "inbound, A-2, etc"

On a side note i found out today KING 22 that's at the
ANG is out of New York.  So i guess that would be the
102nd RQS/106th RQW flying HC-130's.  Never heard him
fly today.
