[SMCARA] Atlantic Test Range

[KG3BOZ]

I have heard them run off several boats from the range this morning.

Channel 82A on your marine radio.  Usage: Port Operations (US Government
only)

Typically used by the Atlantic Test Range for range clearance ops, including
airborne range clearance flights.  This is typically a KingAir contract
aircraft from St Mary's Airport and mainly used in the offshore Warning Area
for surveillance.

When dropping ordnance on the targets south of the base, it is often
necessary to chase fishermen/waterman from the targets. Bad press to sink
some poor fisherman! A 2000 lb bomb crashing into your boat at 400 fps could
be a rude awakening!

Is active on 157.125 (FM) if you care to listen.  I think they will be
active off and on throughout the day.
