[MilCom] Short RQ-4 Global Hawk Flight

[Paul Raguse]

There were two TFRs that are issued for the Global Hawk flights on Monday afternoon and into early evening. 
Went up there to see if i could spot one from a hill not far from Beale AFB. I had no idea if i would get anything on the radio 
if one came in or departed. While i was there i got some video of a U-2 doing touch n go's.

I first heard Hawk 15 (RQ-4) talking to the air boss on 240.225. 
Hawk 15 later came up on tower 276.15 and was cleared to take off and change to departure.
It had never occured to me to monitor ground or clearance delivery. I wish i had as they may have given Hawk 15 a 
departure clearance that included the departure freq. None of the Norcal freqs that i have for the T-38s and U-2s were the right one.
I did hear the Norcal controller only on 259.1as he was talking to the Global Hawk. I suspect there is a Norcal discrete
for the Global Hawks. Just as i now suspect the 323.175 i posted earlier is a Oakland center discrete for the Global Hawks.
But what do i know for sure. I'm a noob UAV monitor. And just as the U-2s have a "Mobile" chase car that follow them on the
runway, the Global Hawk had a "Hawkeye" vechicle on tower freq.
I had my Ipod like thing recording audio the entier time and put the comms into the video from it. The RQ-4 was very weak and i had too
adjust the audio alot afterwords and there was alot of road noise plus me making noise so it kinda sucks.
