That might explain what I was hearing on 364.2 all afternoon down in Portland. Sounded like someone directing aircraft to targets.

They were on 364.2 on Tuesday also, so there may be an exercise going on for a couple of days.

An E-8 crewman heard ARISE on Satcom yesterday talking to DEERHUNTER, they went to 9023.0 for a signal check. He didn't know who it was though.

Today (6/19) I heard what sounded like another AWACS on station, but he was working with LONGRACKS looking for a VHF frequency they could use...
