[Scan-DC] RE: 260.9 [SouthernMDScannerForum] Southern MD Audio Log Notes (04/19/04)

Jeff,

I've heard 260.9 in the Fred. Co. area. The BANYAN's and tankers were
using it to talk with HUNTRESS a few weeks back in a Hideaway CAP. They
wouldn't use it a lot however; HUNTRESS would switch to that freq only
periodically and it would come in 5 x 5 (I can never usually hear the
HUNTRESS side other than on this freq). It seemed like they would use it
when the tanker was in a bad reception area for 324.0

Looking forward to getting my new antenna up. I hope it clears up some
of these weak comms for me. I did manage to pull a couple of tag outta
that air today.

238.175
Flight of 2 using as A-A freq, conducted Ops checks then used for A-A
ACM. Reasonably confident COACH was the C/S but it seemed like every
time I thought I heard a C/S it was something different. I am seriously
considering locking this freq out and reworking it later when I start
trying to put better details on the freqs. I suspect this one might make
for an easier tag if scanned alongside known GK freqs and 1st FW freqs.

141.8
FLYER calling OPS. Comes back as PA ANG A-10s. I'll tag this as such.

239.05
COSMIC Flight of 4 working what I thought was ATC concerning block
altitudes and such. I heard something that made a flag go up. "HUNTRESS
-  COSMIC 1 Airport in sight..... COSMIC Push 260.9". This freq comes
back as a known NY CTR freq as well as a BOSTON CTR freq. I know once in
while down here I have heard aircraft working HUNTRESS on a known ZDC
freq, which one escapes me at the moment. Can someone up north possibly
offer up some comment on A/C calling HUNTRESS on this freq?

341.9
Very weak comms, was hoping to catch DRAGO flight on this one again but
no joy.

385.3
Weak comms, used as A-A freq for apparent flight of 2. C/S sounded like
"GOALIE".

390.95
Brief hit, nothing gained

300.825
1 transmission, nothing gained

245.65
Brief hit, nothing gained

280.6
ZULUs and YANKEEs from PAX River H1-Upgrades using as A-A freq while
troubleshooting apparent comm problem. It did not appear s though they
were doing the Photo work they have been doing recently so I am gonna
tag it NHK H1-Upgrades.

225.6
Hard to copy the CS on the one. But I could copy the numbers 75 & 77, 75
called out to 77 several times for signal checks, then 75 called out to
any station for signal check.

236.6
"442 with Unknown station concerning issues with the capabilities of
their console. I know 442 is a P3 at PAX with NRL. The comms from their
end where pretty good. Never heard the other side. Reasonably sure the
freq is PAX related but will keep monitoring it for further info.

307.25
Heard ANGRY flight (DC ANG) with Unknown station.... PUSH 335.6. Then
later heard COSMIC 11 with you at 16K, push Victor 16. Freq comes back
as Jacksonville CTR and Chicago CTR. I guess I'll have to keep working
this one for now.

264.1
A/C checking in at 13K' with unknown station. Freq comes back as
possible McGuire Ops freq but it sounded to me like they were talking to
an ATC of some sort. Will have to keep on it.

282.45
Flight of 2 using as A-A freq. One told the other to call base. Nothing
further gained.
