Mil monitors in the area around Fort Polk have had a major frequency change of note:
Fort Polk Approach/Departure Control has moved from 226.500 MHz to 302.200 MHz.
Airports effected by this change include:
Alexandria International Airport (KAEX)
Bunkie Muni (2R6)
David G. Joyce (0R5)
Esler Regional Airport (Alexandria) (KESF)
Fort Polk Joint Readiness Training Center/Polk AAF
Marksville Muni (KMKV)
Natchitoches Regional Airport (KIER)
The ANG unit at Little Rock AFB has changed its Command Post frequencies.
They are now using 138.600 MHz (a new A/G/A nationwide) AM mode and 225.450 MHz.
Fort Sill/Henry Post AAF Metro has moved from 375.200 MHz to 306.500 MHz. This leaves only one military metro left on 375.200 MHz at McConnell AFB. I expect that this Metro will move as well. Based on what has been noted on other frequencies in this range it appears that 375.2 MHz will now be used for wideband comms nationwide instead of the Metro assignment that it has been iused for in the past. More field reports are needed to determine the exact nature of what 375.200 MHz will be used for in this regard. Needless to say, listeners in the McConnell area are asked to watch 375.2 MHz closely as I expect it to change soon as well.
Listeners are also reminded that Metro stations on 344.6 MHz are also on the move. This frequency is also being cleaned out for the same purpose as 375.200 MHz above and new wideband allocation (based on other reported activity on either side of this frequency)is being established.
