Guys,

Brickyard #### is a civilian airline based in Indiana---hence the ref to 
the Indianapolis Raceway " Brickyard"

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.....
