March was a relatively slack month, partly due to a lack of radio time on my part and partly due to the 3rd AVN at Hunter AAF preparing for a Spring deployment to Europe. With them not flying, a big hole is left in MilCom activity in the Savannah area. There was an Agile Flag… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; March 2023
What do you do when you live in Savannah and don’t really care about St Patrick’s Day? You get out of town. My folks wanted to visit a family friend in Fernandina Beach over the weekend, so I drove them down on Saturday. They didn’t want to go down and come back all in the… Read More Road Trip Radio Report: Overnight Road Trip to Fernandina Beach, FL; 18/19 March 2023
Life got in the way of radio quite a bit in February, but the radio time I did have turned out to be remarkably interesting. February saw a Marine Divisions Tactics Course (MDTC) at MCAS Beaufort and the 62nd FS and 308th FS from Luke AFB visited the Air Dominance Center for training. The 62nd… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; February 2023

Last week, I took a road trip that was a continuation of a series of American Revolution Southern Campaign road trips that I’ve taken over the last year or so.

December is always a short month for military monitoring. With the Christmas and New Year’s holidays so close together, there generally isn’t a lot of activity from just before Christmas to the new year. This year was no different; there was little activity to listen to between 23 December and 31 December. Hunter AAF/Wright AFF/Fort… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; December 2022
Since the beginning of October brought a lot of stress, a short road trip was in order, so I took a short road trip up through the Central Savannah River Area to Northeast Georgia and Northwest South Carolina over the weekend. The first day of the trip was a pleasant drive up through the Central… Read More History, Mountains, and Waterfalls – Northeast Georgia and Northwest South Carolina Mini Road Trip Radio Report; 8-10 October 2022
For the most part, June was a more normal month that May was (and for some reasons, thankfully so). During June, I took a road trip to Northeast Georgia; although I didn’t hear a lot of MilCom while I was up there, I could hear some traffic in the Bulldog and Gamecock MOAs from up… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; June 2022
So, I lied… I know I said on Twitter that I wouldn’t be doing a May Military Monitoring Recap, but the weather today wasn’t the best so there wasn’t as much to listen to as I was hoping for. Since there wasn’t as much to listen to, I used the time to put a May… Read More Coastal Georgia Military Monitoring Recap; May 2022
For the second year in a row, I took a road trip to Northeast Georgia for my summer vacation.
