What is this? :shock: As far as I know this part of airband is dedicated exclusively for radionavigational purposes. (Correct me if I am wrong, please!) Do they really use this freq for voice communications? :shock:

Today at Alliance they used the following:

139.2250 MHz = Air to Air. Is this considered the "Tactical" freq?
235.2500 MHz = T-bird Control; team leader

Cheers,

Tally.

read that this was their new V-01 freq, back in may 143.700 was their V-01
Seems they are shifting regurlarly from VHf freqs, also heard this year as V-01 was 139.800.
Other new freqs heard this year were 148.850 & 150.150

You can skip those, Those 2 mentioned freqs are from Luke AFB, and Thunderbirds are currently performing over there.
Have seen the log, but my Guess is they used these freqs during Practice for discrete contact with Luke AFB.

Personaly I do not put these freqs in my Database as Thunderbirds Freqs

They did use a new Victor freq this weekend: 141.075 (http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)
