Minnesota Military Frequencies

I thank Steve Ziegler and CARMA for submitting some frequencies. These sure helped me a lot. If you have any more frequencies to submit, please let me know!!

AR-109H USAF Air Refuelling Track

(Enters eastern Minnesota in the central area)

Primary- 343.500

Secondary- 320.900

Entry/Exit controlled by Minnesota ARTCC on 327.100

The BRONSON, BEAVER and SNOOPY MOA's (military operating areas) all lay across

Minnesota's northern border, though I have no frequency information for them.

They are all very active with Airborn Intercept, Command and Control

exercises. Try 364.200, 311.000, 321.000 and 303.000 for starters. Also listen

to UHF air route traffic control frequencies for entry/exit control into and

out of these MOA's. Also listen for "handoff" frequencies. Confirmed control

and tactical frequencies for these MOA's are badly needed by the monitoring

community and should be considered "hot targets".
