Thanks!

I know Waddo uses VHF 99% of the time but the UHF is still there for that 1% thought CBY might be similar, I guess not!

Getting Typhoon coms on 298.975 again, a little digging suggests this could be Holbeach Secondary freq, but *** 31 has just advised he is leaving Donna at FL110, which ties in with the Typhoon seen orbiting Donna for the past 30 mins.

So if anyone could confirm that would be great.

Cheers

I have 298.975 saved as Coningsby Tower in my scanner. The caveat to that being I'm currently updating my scanner in Stoke ready for a trip to Lincolnshire next week, however I've had that from doing numerous searches whilst updating my scanner following the recent changes in numerous frequencies.

298.975 appears to be a discrete radar frequency at Coningsby now. It is used by locally based aircraft operating in the local area, that are not under the control of Swanwick. I have noted it being used for low level interceptions, dogfights and laser designating.

Thanks XR713, that makes sense from what I've heard on it.

298.975 just piped up again, this time it's Snake 47/48 talking to each other, 47 over Norwich, 48 north of Skegvegas.

Might want to check what you're posting my friend, I think you're getting muddled up with who is on what frequency.

29sqd a/a - 269.150, 278.25, 399.25, 379.325 - Ops 242.675
12sqd a/a - 280.55, 282.475, 388.55 - Ops 240.575
11sqd a/a - 246.1, 341.825, 373.925 - Ops 343.225
3sqd a/a - 290.975, 377.9 - Ops 312.25
41sqd a/a - 279.325, 244.45 - Ops 377.55

Each a/a frequency was for a particular callsign, eg, Warlord always used 269.150, Cobra 278.25, but recently some have changed over, just need to confirm which is for which again. It looks as though Warlord and Triplex have swapped, and also Wolf and Vandal have swapped.

Also this list is purely for Coningsby frequencies, no need to post Swanwick/Crowbar etc.

I've heard "Crowbar" mentioned a few times at Coningsby recently. Is there a frequency allocated to it (and what role)?

Crowbar is the fighter controllers that control the 323s, either from Boulmer or Scampton I believe.

Crowbar use TAD frequencies, which are pre briefed and hardly ever passed over the air, and the fighters switch to the TAD number when heading to the area.

I've only tried to listen to them when Cobra Warrior was on, and have a list of some freq's used then, but they could well be out of date now.

Is the station frequency list on the first page still in use? (At Coningsby tomorrow and I've found various different lists of freqs)

245.5 in use at the moment for Rampage working with Centurion.

Unsure if it's a new 3sqd A/a or a Centurion callsign.
