September began with disappointment, but despite limited radio time it became a better than average month for MilCom in Coastal Georgia. Within the last year, it had been announced that a William Tell air superiority competition was to be held at the Savannah Air Dominance Center (ADC) in September, but apparently it was cancelled as it never occurred. That disappointment was balanced out by some other visitors to the Savannah ADC, the return of a MCAS Beaufort unit to the skies, and an Army competition at Fort Stewart and Hunter AAF. During September I also settled on which radios I was going to use in my new mobile station - a Uniden SDS100 for scanning and a Radioddity DB-25D Pro for amateur radio/GMRS.

- The previously scheduled William Tell air superiority competition did not occur in September. The ADC featured it heavily two years ago in their social media and USAF social media announced the scheduling within the last year, but no posts were made about the cancellation. Instead, 71st FS F-22As and 7th FTS T-38As came to the ADC and worked offshore with F-35As from the 159th FS at Jacksonville and the 95th FS at Tyndall AFB.
- Earlier this year, VMFA(AW)-224 at MCAS Beaufort stood down F/A-18C/D operations to convert to the F-35B. I last heard them flying with the F/A-18s in March, so it was a surprise when I heard them return to the air mid month in F-35Bs, operating in the SEALORD controlled SUAs off the coast and at Townsend Range in coastal Georgia.
- The 188th Infantry Brigade at Fort Stewart hosted a "Pershing Cup" Observer Controller/Trainer (OC/T) competition at Fort Stewart and Hunter AAF during September. Support communications could be on heard on the Fort Stewart and Hunter AAF US Army ACE-LMR sites.
The news, open source prognosticators, and others are watching recent events and military movements in the Caribbean, Central, and South America with interest. At the moment, those movements are surrounded by uncertainty with what is to come. Depending upon what happens in the region, I may end up suspending these monthly MilCom recaps
