Duane,

     257.8 is used by local civilian airports to communicate with military 
on UHF.  I normally only hear it when special aircraft are in the area 
(airshows, flybys, etc).  It's listed at South Bend as well.  Unfortunately 
I was pegged to work the 4th and didn't get a chance to monitor any 
milcomms.  My "other" radio kept me busy.

Cheers,
Ed
