The SPICA Orbit is going on until 0500Z and all i'm
getting are green comms.  They don't have anything in
the clear (RED) up here like our fellow posters in FLA
and GA get to hear.  Not ONE voice traffic from a
Jstars a/c.  Must be the same airplane gods that keep
the multiple fighters and different units away from
here (I'm not referring to the ones that come in and
see Momma and the ONE Pax River aircraft) controlling
the Jstars a/c.  I sure wish those guys would spread
the word.
