[MilCom] Any of you East Coasters get any of this?

[AllanStern at aol.com]

Been getting them Lima Charlie and posting them to my groups  including 
_MilRadioComms at yahoogroups.com_ (mailto:MilRadioComms at yahoogroups.com)  (see  
below). Feel free to join us.
  The aircraft from USS Ike has been hitting Pinecastle Range to the  north 
of me and Avon Park Bombing Range to the south of me.
  Using the normal range freqs as well as the offshore Sealord  freqs. 
  At Pinecastle you are sure to hear them on 225.35. 
  At Avon Park, they come in on 292.2, and mostly were on the North  Tac 
Range today (264.625 MHz).
  Mostly Oceana F/A-18s off the ship.

USS  DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER, At Sea (NNS) -- The Norfolk-based aircraft 
carrier  USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) responded to a distress signal 
from a  civilian vessel in the early morning of Nov. 7, resulting in the 
rescue of  three Canadian civilian mariners from an overturned sailboat,  
approximately 300 miles off the coast of Cape Hatteras,  N.C.

Coordination between the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy 2nd  Fleet 
Maritime Operations Center resulted in the identification of the  
Eisenhower as a logistics platform, due to the ship's medical personnel  
and refueling capabilities for supporting aircraft, as the best  
available asset to render aid.

The Eisenhower then quickly steamed  toward the mariners. Soon afterward, 
a Coast Guard helicopter landed on  the ship's flight deck to refuel and 
pick up one of the ship's flight  surgeons to help with the rescue. The 
helicopter team then rescued the  mariners in distress and flew them to a 
hospital in North  Carolina.

"I'm very proud of the amazing work the Eisenhower team  accomplished to 
save the lives of these mariners in danger", said Capt.  Dee Mewbourne, 
the ship's commanding officer. "From the Medical Department  that helped 
treat the injured, to the Air Department that refueled the  helicopter, 
to the bridge team that navigated the ship to where it needed  to be, and 
to the Engineering and reactor departments that gave us the  power to get 
there, all did a great job working together to make it happen  safely and 
efficiently. It's this teamwork, within the ship and with our  colleagues 
in the Coast Guard, that make our Maritime forces the best on  the world."

Eisenhower is conducting a Composite Training Unit Exercise  (COMPTUEX) 
in preparation for its upcoming 2010 deployment. COMPTUEX,  scheduled by 
Commander, U.S. Second Fleet (C2F) and conducted by a  training team led 
by Commander, Strike Force Training Atlantic (CSFTL), is  a 
joint/combined exercise conducted off the East Coast of the United  States.
