Thanks for the freqs, do you use the 2006 for mil air? The 2006 was my first mil air rx back in the day, good enough to catch satcoms sitting on the kitchen counter with just the factory whip antenna screwed into the case.

UPSET 72 calling JOSHUA CONTROL
321.00MHz 1940Z 02JAN18
JOSHUA CONTROL resolves to;
412th TW, Edwards AFB, CA (approach)
UPSET resolves to;
KC-135R 128th ARG, WI ANG Milwaukee, WI
I don't get it. If Joshua control is in CA, and UPSET 72 is a KC135, they must be wayyyy tf up there for UPSET 72 to be calling CA and I can hear them in south Indiana. I was thinking this must be a U2, SR71, or other high flyer/fast mover up around FL80 or higher..
None of this makes sense.
AAR ongoing on 343.250MHz 1614Z 02MAY18.
HAPPY or SENTRY 61 is one of the flight, they're heading out of range and just catching bits.
"precontact on the front and then some seat swaps"
"alright."
1930Z, July 3, 2018 - AR455 active at this time with Sentry25 and others preparing for refueling. Tanker call is NATION98.
used 243.000 guard channel to organize comms. switched to 336.100 and 139.875 for tactical comms.
Tanker holding at YOCKY (near Lexington) waypoint @ FL260, waiting for Sentry25/35 to arrive for refueling.
2010z, switched to 260.9 (CAP air-to-air), comms with SENTRY and HUNTRESS. Expecting rendevous around 2023z.
2020z - heading to the eastern end of the track, near Beckley, WV.
2052 - handing SENTRY35 off to Indy Center on 135.125. Not many comms during actual refueling.
Wonder why they'd send them to Indy Center when they're over WV?
Wonder why they'd send them to Indy Center when they're over WV?
Indy Center (ZID) extends well into WV and they were headed to southern OH where they did a loop circuit for several hours after refueling.

02AUG2018_1710z- sounds like a minor exercise in the Brush Creek MOA (southern Ohio) with training in jamming/EC and refueling.
Frequencies:
357.1 - OH ANG discreet
316.125 - Brush Creek MOA tac and ATC
238.9 - AR203 refueling
240.35 - Blue Ash control, 123rd Air Control Squadron
290.5 - 178th Fighter Wing, Springfield OH
Any idea of what they were jamming? Or was it simply an exercise without "live" jamming?I wasn't able to tell from the comms that I heard. They were going through the on-screen menus of the jamming equipment to find various settings. One guy was teaching the other how to find the settings.

Not anymore. COTS is the new milspec. Commercial Off The Shelf. If it's mission capable, it gets bought.

DTMF and modem traffic on orderwires.
Abrupt qsy to 338.950 @ 1900Z, apparently transitioning to different GEP.
Thanks for that, if I'd been thinking, I'd have scanned past the qsy to see if the other sig was still present and then I'd have known there were two flights.---
Cheater! Actually that's something I need to start doing. Do you do your own adsb receiving or do you use some webpage?---
Thanks for the details, and was just going to post that 337.3 lit up @ 1513Z today with modem traffic on orderwire pair.---

As I recall, one of stratcom primaries.
1830z - 328.025 - STARGATE calling out threats, giving distance threats/targets are from 'Filmore'. STARGATE is a JSTARS E-8 aircraft.
STARGATE also heard on 271.400 'common'. 'we'll sanitize the area'
Also on 343.000, 'avoid cratering the runway'. 343.0 is used by Jefferson Range for Bombing training (about halfway between Louisville and Cincinnati).
There has been an E8 orbiting about half way between Louisville and Nashville for several hours today.
Heads up, 6 to 8 B52s headed for RAF Fairford for TDY deployment 15MAR19. Should allow for some comms intercepts on uhf and hf.

Awesome work, will have to put them into scan. These are kinda similar to the hf channel that used to get more USAF activity than it does now, 6761. That freq was treated like a party line for bombers, tankers, everyone.---
On the presets, these vary according to the unit, each craft of a given unit will have the same presets.

Just had some chatter on "Magnum 5", 357.050 MHz 1904Z 17JUL19
Expect a lot of ground support ops to employ "cigars";
SINCGARS uses 25 kHz channels in the very high frequency (VHF) FM band, from 30.000 to 87.975 megahertz (MHz). It has single-frequency and frequency hopping modes. The frequency-hopping mode hops 111 times a second.
On mil air antennae, have collected the bits and pieces for one of these;
http://forums.radioreference.com/threads/mt-magazine-uhf-satcom-antenna-project.181378/
Not only is it optimised for milsats it's also good for mil air in the same band.
Also milradiocomms has changed urls;
http://www.milradiocomms.com/index.html
Back in the day I had all of the 25KHz and wideband channels for the sats programmed into a 2006 and had much more activity than today. Most current activity, sadly, is due to asshats in Brasil and other SA nations using our sats to play cb.
For east coast drone enthusiasts;

Nice catch on 311.6
I have heard refueling ops on 327.6 sporadically for a couple of decades here in Kentucky. Not sure which refueling track it is.

06 tells 21 we're completing our first orbit, do you need more time?
Hi Mike, nice to have another ear aboard. Didn't have 351 in the rx, will see if anything pops up.351.000 was different. Very strange. At first I thought it was interference so I tested it on three other scanners and SDR and all different antennas for each. I could post a short video of it here if I was able to.
Hi Mike, nice to have another ear aboard. Didn't have 351 in the rx, will see if anything pops up.
I'd have to have a i/q of the entire sig to run it thru the batputer. Top o' me head says this was from the Sentry, with the BUFF you mention a close second.
As to the tacamo wideband mux, it's always wideband fm, 60kc wide I think, with various amplitude modulated sigs superimposed on the channelised mux stream. There will be two mux flowing, uplink and downlink, I'm not in range of any uplink that I know of, haven't heard any. There has been mention of a digital version to replace the analog wideband fm link but have yet to see it here. Somewhere around the start of this thread are some video links to steps taken by a monitor to extract specific channels from the mux, so you might take a look at them if you haven't.
One of these days I am finally going to hear some UHF mil air traffic... ;D
I'm sure the smolinksi kid was being condescending.
I hear mil-air stuff. I am sure there is a lot of traffic Chris can hear.
The 225-400 band is big and it is easy to miss stuff. Maybe start with some power surveys to identify good target frequencies? Try this:

Yeah not like there's 34 pages of frequencies and links to freqs right here or anything.

How location specific are the frequencies? It's not like it's HF where you have a chance of hearing it no matter your QTH :)
I posted to the Scan-DC list asking about active frequencies in this area. We'll see what turns up.

Keep in mind that I routinely hear HUNTRESS and several other east coast commands here in sw Indiana, via an ancient scanner attached to a HAM triband vertical mobile antenna hanging in the window on the ground floor. When they're 50k ft up you can hear them a long ways.

Far as I know only E4 and E6 carry the mux/ALCC system, mebber AF1 and AF2 do but not sure. Also, haven't seen a 4 or 6 via adsb maps in a while now, suspect they've stopped reporting, and for good reason.
Also;
"According to openly available data, the Dead Hand is an integral part of the “Zveno” system of air command posts, the development of which was carried out in the Soviet Union. The “Zveno” includes the airborne command and control post on the Il-86VKP aircraft, airborne radio relay on the Il-76RT aircraft, silo-based command missiles ‘Perimeter’ and mobile command missiles ‘Gorn’. In a period of threat, three Il-86VKPs would have the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, the Defense Minister and the Chief of the General Staff respectively on board. The Il-86VKP is able to launch an 8 km long antenna, which not even impulses from nuclear explosions can affect. Using this antenna the aircraft can transmit commands to launch all the country’s intercontinental missiles even if all underground command posts are destroyed by the aggressor’s nuclear strike. The radio relay aircraft Il-76RT would transmit commands to launch missiles in distant regions, including those deployed on submarines. In this way, the Dead Hand guarantees a devastating retaliatory strike in the event of communications disruption and the destruction of command posts after the first-strike surprise nuclear attack by the enemy. Its command missiles launch their warheads into space, where no hostile satellite or nuclear explosions can reach them and from there “wake up” nuclear forces to strike the aggressor."

Fairly confident the E4 you mention would be who I heard. What adsb map did you use to catch them?I saw it on ADSB exchange. I looked a few minutes ago and there was an E6 up in OK.
Woohoo. Hearing traffic on 322.400 MHz, supposedly this is New York ARTCC Big Flat RGAG? Hearing an OM assigning what sounds like local frequencies to various flights. A very strong signal.Woo!! There ya go!! Have fun.

Unid om in French, then test counts by at least 3 players in "Canadian" english or accents spoken by non US english users.
US CAP has holdings on the freq in question but this signal had the characteristics of an airborne or sat intercept.

Same flight on 327.600. Numerics were "15" talking about established in the block... Weak here from my location in NW Indiana.
Think if they were in Hilltop they'd be stronger.
1647Z:
AAR on 324.600. Lists show this as AR101. INDY 81 was just down there but he's now over central Indiana still with Chicks attached.
Chick callsign numerics was "32". Possibly SKULL ? 32.
Pushed to 282.250 missed the push.
