[John Wilson]

123.0250 mhz. will be used for all medcom, DMA  and other a/c for air to 
air comms who participate in the search.  DMA a/c also will continue to 
use STARS tg 4529 DMA TAC WEST. "Dustoff 63" is a Blackhawk.  DMA 
aircraft will refuel at Charlottesville AP.  Limited cellphone and STARS 
coverage in the mountainous search area. DMA STARS comms not 100%.  
Occasionally the DMA a/c called by DMA command does not respond.
