[MilCom] RHODY and HOBBY recap

[Ed Langworthy]

Thanks to the great work by Dick in Kennebunk (maine_451) he heard much of this too and even caught a bunch of action on the Marine band and Coast Guard P-25 freq.  One of his last intercepts was about ending the drops and RTB Pease.  "Seal team onboard"  Dick determined it was either a CG Cutter or Navy ship on scene.  Great work Dick!  Please do a recap of your freqs heard for the groups.  (NE Milair too)
