The Monthly Military Monitoring Recap consists of frequencies and callsigns that I've heard in use in Coastal Georgia and during my travels (usually around South Carolina and Florida). Special Operations, Intelligence, and real-world Combat Air Patrol information will not be posted. Gulfstream (Savannah) and Boeing (Charleston) flight test frequencies and callsigns are also included as well as US Coast Guard, non-law enforcement FedCom, and civilian medevac callsigns, N-numbers, and frequencies.
Even though the holidays reduced the amount of MilCom activity and I simply didn't have as much radio time as I usually do, December still turned out to be an eventful radio month. Fort Stewart and Hunter AAF underwent a radio system upgrade (Fort Stewart Central's words) and the talkgroups have all changed; extensive listening will be needed to figure out what's what. What I have identified so far has been submitted to RadioReference. F-16s from Shaw AFB conducted an overnight exercise over and around coastal South Carolina on 14 December (I was lucky to hear it because I was staying up overnight to get back on my midnight shift sleeping schedule). It was also a pleasure to hear A-10s from Moody AFB using Townsend Range several times during the month. Finally, just before Christmas it sounded like Gulfstream attempted a record flight from Tokyo to Savannah. January should see some more extensive logs as I'll have more radio time, hopefully including some from a road trip I have planned to the Space Coast.
- Over the course of the month, Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield transitioned from the US Army 58A radio system to the US Army 98D radio system. The only site I've been able to listen to so far has been the Hunter AAF site and for the most part, its frequencies remained the same. The site information is: Sys ID 98D, RFSS ID 1, NAC 980
- The 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade has returned home to Hunter AAF. I'm not sure if their aircraft have returned yet, but I did hear one 4-3 AVN UH-60M flying at times (it may have been an aircraft that didn't travel to Europe with them for the deployment). Other than it, I haven't heard any 3rd CAB aircraft fly yet.
- During December, the 165th AW announced on their social media accounts that their first C-130J would arrive in Savannah at the end of January. I'm looking forward to it; the DAWGs have been sorely missed in the skies above Savannah.
- VMFA(AW)-533 is still undergoing their transition from the F/A-18C/D to the F-35B
- On the morning of 21 December, I caught what sounded like the end of a record attempt by one of Gulfstream's G700s. N706GD was arriving at Savannah-Hilton Head IAP from Tokyo and the Air Traffic Control communications made it sound like it might have been a record attempt. Based on the departure time from Tokyo from ADS-B Exchange and the time I caught them land, they flew from Tokyo to Savannah in just under 11 hours. Whether it was a record or not, that's still impressive.
