[MilCom] Milair Callsign

[Duane Mantick]

BRICKYARD is the CP for the 434th ARW at Grissom ARB.  HOWEVER; the 
tankers KC135R models out of there use either MASHxx or INDYxx in most 
cases.  I don't know of an *aircraft* that uses BRICKYARD as a callsign
but that doesn't mean there isn't one.  (I can hear a 344.6 metro call, it
would be just like out of the movie "Airplane" or whatever the satire one 
was.....  "BRICKYARD, this is BRICKYARD....."  "Huh?"  :-)  :-)  )

I posted hearing some stuff on frequencies that have been (from my listening anyway) dormant that was related to chicago center civilian
traffic on a normally military UHF channel.  That was 351.95.  Also had some traffic on 118.4, and 255.4 which I showed as National Guard ch 12 from an old reference - neither one of which I was able to make out due to weak signals and temporary antenna at my QTH.  The latter might have been
F16s out of Fort Wayne ANG base, 122nd FW although I don't recall hearing 
them on this freq in the past.....
