[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] CBP comms on 165.2375

[AllanStern at aol.com]

Wonderfully interesting Customs & Border Patrol comms late  last night.
   A CBP aircraft had a vessel under surveillance off the coast  of Miami, 
and led a CBP Marine unit to the vessel.  The CBP vessel made  contact with 
the TOI (Target of Interest), but the perpetrator vessel then  fled.
   The CBP vessel fired two warning shots and got the TOI  stopped.
   As the CBP vessel was pursuing the TOI vessel, persons aboard  the 
vessel began tossing bags ("black and blue bags") overboard.
   The CBP vessel managed to arrest the perpetrators and retrieve  some of 
the bags.
 
   "Omaha 1MR" (CBP acft N801MR, DHC-8 Bombardier turboprop) on  165.2375 
MHz, in comms with "Mike 789" (CBP vessel) re TOI.
   "I show target bearing 075 for 22 miles from you."
   "1MR" comms with "Xray 6000" on 165.2375 MHz: "We're  going to move up 
to Net 2 (169.45 MHz) to talk with our service  unit."
   
   On 169.45, "Omaha 5MR" leads CBP vessel "Mike 771" to the  TOI, and 
"Mike 771" makes contact with TOI.
   "Omaha 5MR" tells "Mike 771" that the TOI threw something  overboard 
after Mike 771 made first contact.
 
   "Omaha 5MR" comms w "Xray 6000" (169.45 MHz): Position of  stop: 26-00.5 
North, 79-59.0 West.  
 
    "Mike 771" reports (169.45 MHz): "Two warning shots  fired; no 
disabling.  Recovered three packages." Later he reports finding  another package.
 
   "Omaha 5MR" w "Mike 771" (169.45 MHz): we will RTB and get  that 
Blackhawk out here to look around and see if they can find something.
 
"Mike 771" w C-100 (169.45 MHz): "We are 10-38 with 25-foot Mako."
 
"Mike 771" (169.45 MHz) reports "We are going to try to do a CD."
