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

[Jeff]

Larry,

355.3
Looks like your background material is correct. I had had several intercepts
on it, All REACH A/C calling with ETA, MAINT SQUAWKS, Parking spot requests
and such. All the A/C have been REACH ###"TANGO". I had seen the IFR stating
it was QUANTICO MTRO. That is why I was curious and kept working it. Glad I
did.

277.6
Thanks I have pretty much the same info. I am going to keep working it for a
while and see if it is used for anything on a regular basis around here.
Like I said in the original post, My search scanners only picked this one up
last week. I am surprised I had not caught some activity on the freq before
now, seeing that I have been at this since 1/1/04.

341.9
Your thoughts are as good a possibility as any. For what it's worth, here
are my notes from the "FEW" intercepts I have had on it:

FREQUENCY	NOTES	DATE
341.90	"1 Transmisssion. ""Have they started their recovery yet?"""
05/06/04
341.90	Used as interplane between apparent flight of 2 in ACM. Possible C/S
HARDY	05/11/04
341.90	DREGO 51, 52, 53, & 54 using as interplane freq	04/05/04

295.8
Yep tagged & bagged.

230.3
I answer this in previous email so I'll leave it alone here.

Larry, thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I have noted your thoughts.


Take it easy,
Jeff
