All,

Today, in the 0900 hour (EDT) had Mafia 74 and an unidentified Venus aircraft 
up in A-A chat on 142.75 AM.  This is normally the Venus Control freq at 
Andrews so they were probably using it as an A-A since it's one of their pre-sets.

The Venus aircraft was coordinating their navigational routes with Mafia 74. 
In their chat Venus asked Mafia 74 to use Tacan 92X as an A-A freq instead of 
92Y, which they didn't have. Mafia 74 was trailing the Venus aircraft about 5 
miles to his right and about 4,000 ft lower in altitude.

This is the first time I've heard the Mafia callsign used by Andrews 
aircraft. Must be a new 99th AS call. 

Anyone have the freqs for 92X & 92Y so I could plug them in my scanner just 
in case.
