341.750 is still a Have Quick TOD frequency frequently used in various
parts of the US by AWACS aircraft. It is also as you pointed out the
primary for AR-20  It has also been used by Jstars aircraft. A lot of
the UHF Milair frequencies have multiple users/usages. It is a trend
which we are seeing more and more of in the last few years as DoD
continues to expand from their 100 and 50 kHz spacing to 25 kHz spacing.

Figured I would throw some comment in here. Yes, this
is a known AR freq for AR20, you can reference this
from the AP-1B. And yes, It is also Have Quick
related. In the past, I am not sure when it changed,
you could bring up the IFR Supp and look at LFI and
several other bases and see that several bases around
the country actually listed this freq as a HQ timing
freq. But now "NONE" of them list this as HQ timing on
the IFR. So I may need to consider changing this on my
list as well but not until I see some more discussion
on it.

I think for my purposs I will just list it both ways
until we can determine positively that HQ is no longer
used on it. And that is gonna be a hard thing to
confirm.

But even during the time frame it was listed on the
IFR as HQ it was also listed in the AP-1B as an AR
freq. So it was definetly a multipurpose type freq at
that time. May very well still be. I remember about a
year ago the question came up on one of the MILAIR
related lists abut the use of the freq and I believe
the consensus came back with it being a Dual Use type
of freq depending on where you were at.

For me, this one is a pain in the butt as I pick up
Cable TV on it at times. I remember the last time I
heard it active a few weeks ago I was listening to an
AR in progress as well as some quilting show. :-) So
it is a "very MULTIPURPOSE" freq then huh??? :-)

The next time I catch HQ working I'll try to remeber
to watch this one and see if it kicks off again. I
suspect it will.
