End of an Era - Almost!

Over the last few years, I have documented the wholesale changes to DoDs bandplan in the 225-400 MHz milair band. One of the casualties of the bandplan changes has been the 344.600 MHz nationwide Metro (weather) frequency. This frequency is going away and a recent NOTAM change last month documented the Cape Canaveral AFS Metro move from 344.600 MHz to 225.050 MHz. So what is left on 344.600 MHz. Here is the list of the last few Metro stations on this one that "will" be moving in the near future to another Metro frequency near you!

McClellan Airfield CA KMCC
MacDill AFB FL KMCF
MCAS Kaneohe Bay HI PHNG
Grissom ARB IN KGUS
Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility MD KADW
Whiteman AFB MO KSZL
MCALF Bogue Field NC KNJM
Pope AFB NC KPOB
Wright Patterson AFB OH KFFO

If you hear or know if any of these change, drop me some email at the address in the masthead and we will post that up here on the Milcom blog.
