Notes on frequencies:
The 135.525 freq has had some pairs of fighters referring to the
controller there as "GUARD DOG" and others just call "Washington." I
can't hear the ground controller from my location and, at times, the
aircraft have had great difficulty hearing him. One time was late last
night when both fighters in the pair were requesting a U (UHF) freq to
contact "Washington" and neither could hear the reply. The freq they
finally agreed on after several repeats was 362.3. (I don't have a list
for that one either.)
The 138.30 chat freq was called V-9 by some fighter pairs and others
just said "Comm 2, Enter" when they wanted to switch to that freq.
As I mentioned last night, TANKER7 cleared out of the mission track when
he ran low on fuel and got clearance to Terre Haute on freq 135.525. For
awhile, he was nervous about his fuel and kept asking when TANKER8 would
arrive and mentioned that it shouldn't be long coming from McGuire -
indicating that was the origin of TANKER8.
