Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; November 2024

I didn't have as much radio time during November as I would have liked, so the month's recap isn't quite as extensive as usual. Even with the reduced time around the radios, it was still an interesting month. At the end of the month, I took a nice road trip to Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, FL that gave me the opportunity to listen to Mayport and Jacksonville area MilCom a bit more closely than usual. 

PIONEER 21 (P-8A, 167956, VX-1)

  • VMFA-533 began flying two-ship flights in November and I found 234.075 as the air-to-air frequency they're using.
  • I still believe that the 125th FW has stood down for their conversion from the F-15C to the F-35A; I didn't hear them flying in November either. From their website: "The 125 Fighter Wing officially enters conversion when we stand down F-15C Eagle operations, which is anticipated to happen in the fall of 2024."
  • A newly commissioned Guided Missile Destroyer made Naval Station Mayport its homeport at the end of November: USS John Basilone (DDG-122). I was lucky enough to unexpectedly catch its arrival at NS Mayport during my Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach road trip.
