[MilCom] Update Final Monitoring Report CAP CT Wing Ground Exercise Re: [scanconnecticut] CT Wing Civil Air Patrol Exercise Today

[Ken]

Monitoring from approximately 1000 to 1530 hrs local, I was able to confirm 
that the Conneticut Wing, Civil Air Patrol was conducting an exercise for 
various Ground Search/Rescue & Urban Direction Finding Teams throughout the 
state  (including the Winstead & Bristol areas).

Frequencies that were active:
148.125 Repeater (NFM)
148.150 Repater (NFM)
At times it appeared that both frequencies were simucasting.
Mobile/portable units appeared to be called and or checked in on a 1/2 hour 
basis.
Transmissions included this is an exercise.
UDF Teams appeared to be looking in many areas of the state for simulated 
aircraft ELT beacons.  The nationwide practice frequency for this is 121.775 
mhz.    What an ELT sounds like (including actual ones on 121.5 & 243.0 mhz 
(as well as practices beacons)  can be found at:

Callsigns Monitored:
CONNETICUT MISSION BASE
GROUND TEAM ONE
GROUND TEAM TWO
GROUND TEAM THREE
GROUND TEAM FOUR
GROUND TEAM FIVE
GROUND TEAM SIX
GROUND TEAM SEVEN

No CAPFLIGHT aircraft callsigns were monitored, and this was probably due to 
weather conditions.
