[Scan-DC] Southern MD Audio Log Notes (05/11/04)

[Jeff]

Well, Today definitely made up for yesterdays discouragement.

355.3
REACH 143T calling QUANTICO OPS. Good enough for me. Tagged as such

277.6
Brief comms, nothing gained. Comes back as a known NORAD freq. Very surprise
after 5 months of having a dedicated scanner searching the freq range that I
have not had any hits on the freq until now. I am going keep on it, just for
the heck of it for a few days.

273.8
Weak comms, nothing gained

341.9
Used as interplane between apparent flight of 2 in apparent ACM. I can't
find anything for 341.9 but 341.95 is commonly used at PAX for Helos. But
the C/S I kept hearing on this freq sounded like "HARDY", which comes back
to some C-130s. These were fighters so I will keep working it.

246.8
Used as interplane between several A/C. Finally heard enough to tag this one
I guess. I had been told this freq was a common Interplane freq. Most of the
references I have seen to the freq have it as commonly being used by the MD
ANG as interplane which probably is true. I was hoping to be able to
associate it with them as using it consistently but was not able to. Today I
had several A/C in the GK airspace, the made several references to this freq
as being called CHEERLEADER. I assume referencing "2-4-6-8 Who do we
appreciate" type of cheers commonly used by Cheerleaders. This being the
case I am gonna tag this was as common interplane and include with the freqs
like 357.0 MAGNUM, 303.0 WINCHESTER ETC.

295.8
Used as interplane for AR coordination between 2 A/C. Comes back as AR freq
from multiple sources. Good enough for me, Will tag as AR freq for now and
will strive to but better detail on it later.

230.3
Weak comms, could not get much out of it. Did hear reference to "JUMPERS
AWAY". My records bring back nothing on a history for this freq. I will keep
working it.

361.1
"411 is 10 minutes out" nothing further.

143.025
"You guys listening?" "You there?"

362.925
A/C checking in with PAX DATA. A/C waiting for Chase which is SD 107. I have
had this freq listed as a PAX RTPS freq for some time now. I was just trying
to confirm it is still in use which is apparently so. Tagged as PAX RTPS.

240.1
Weak Broken Comms, A/C advising St. Mary's in sight. Well that confirms it.
I had been suspecting I had a harmonic here of PAX 120.05 on this freq. I
was hoping to either confirm that or confirm the freq was still active at
EDG. Since it is listed for EDG I am going to keep working it for a bit
longer to see if I can pick up comms from there.

390.95
Weak comms, used as interplane, nothing gained

271.4
Brief comms, Suspect F-14s due to 1 A/C asking other if his wings were
manually set back.

245.65
Weak comms, used as interplane, nothing gained.

301.225
Weak comms, references to ground targets on the south side of the river.
Targeting the bridge.

349.9
Apparently used as interplane. Possible A/C # 404

275.5
Weak comms, nothing gained

282.45
Weak comms, used as interplane.

349.7
Brief comms referenced heading to POPE
