[FedCom] 165.2375 Mhz Customs

Wed, 26 Mar 2003 05:29:17 -0800 (PST)

I heard weekend comms on this Customs frequency.  I was able to hear both base
and aircraft.  The aircraft (Omaha-47 Charlie Sierra) was apparently running up
and down the South Jersey coast.  The aircraft talked about tracking a biplane
that NY Center decided was a concern due to erratic behavior.  It turned out to
be nothing.  This weekend op was during the afternoon on Saturday.

The base was ID'ing as Jaguar Base.  Anyone know where this is?  It must be in
the Philly area somewhere if I could hear it.  The signal was weak for the
base, but I was only using a handheld RELM-HS200.

My notes are at home, but the aircraft made reference to several frequency
designations I was unsure about.  I wasn't going to post it publicly, but it
would appear the cat has already been let out of the bag on this one, so no
biggie. I'll post additionl questions about this from home.
