[Scan-DC] Intercept exercises - probable USCG

[mdmonitor1 at verizon.net]

 Bob,


157.05 is used extensively by the CGAS Wash helos at DCA. It's also their  freq with their Ops/Maintenance (callsign Pit Boss).


Not sure if the Northpoint you ref is the one here in Baltimore.  They usually do their training in the Andrews area and around DC. Northpoint could simply be a ref to the northern point of their training box.

Heard frequently on marine chan 22 sounds like 2 helos going through 
intercept scenarios
Sometimes I got the impression it was a light aircraft and a helo
Always at night and in good visibility
They give position reports relative to one another, (low) altitudes, 
airspeeds, etc
It is all referenced to "Northpoint" which is near Baltimore and the 
site of a battle of War of 1812
In this area (Annapolis) I usually monitor marine channels when mobile 
and when in my shack
