Subject: [MilCom] 326.00 WBFM Waldorf & Air Force 1 3/1 in N. Va. At 0009z on 326.00 WBFM heard Air Force 1 tell Waldorf he'd check the circuits, Air Force 1 came back and said all circuits check fine. Since I was tuning around the WBFM carrier looking for phone calls I missed what RF configuration AF1 is using. Now a question for someone who knows more about this then I do. Why was I hearing Air Force 1 on 326.00 out of Waldorf when Bill is flying around Utah and California? Waldorf is now back up to S-6. That's all for now, maybe our friends out west can fill us in on the freqs. in use out there. 73 de OBK Time for a Dominion :>) Subject: [MilCom] More 326.00 WBFM AF1 & Waldorf 3/1 in N. Va. At 0020z on 326.00 WBFM noise was coming over the orderwire. At 0021z on 326.00 WBFM Air Force 1 asks Waldorf if they can reset the circuits. Waldorf says it looks like there's a problem out there. At 0025z on 326.00 WBFM Waldorf tells Air Force 1 they should have their circuits back now, there was a computer problem out there. Air Force 1 came back and said all circuits are good. Heard phone calls on 326.0315lsb, 326.0346usb, 325.9675lsb. The type of phone calls I heard make me believe they were coming from Nightwatch 01 and not Air Force 1. At 0112z on 326.00 WBFM heard Air Force 1 tell Waldorf they'll be shutting down in 20-30 mins. When Waldorf sees their signal drop keep their receiver up and when they see Air Force 1's signal set their circuits back up. After the fund raiser Bill heads back to Utah, West Coast boys keep your ears up:>) That's all for now, 73 de OBK Time for a Dominion :>) Subject: [MilCom] 326.00 WBFM Air Force 1 3/1 in N. Va.

Va. 3/1 At 0724z the Orderwire, 326.00 WBFM, started getting noisy, Air Force 1 asked Waldorf if they were transitioned. Waldorf said he put them into Williams but now they are stronger into Strawberry, going to transition AF1 back to Strawberry. Waldorf told 01(Nightwatch) that he was not the cause of the noise, don't hear 01 here, Waldorf must have them on an outside speaker. At 0727z Waldorf came on the Orderwire and told AF1 they are back into Strawberry, Air Force 1 replied and the Orderwire got noisy again and Waldorf lost AF1. At 0728z Waldorf told Air Force 1 they are back at Williams AF1 replied and the Orderwire got noisy again. Waldorf lost them once again. At 0811z on 326.00 WBFM Waldorf asked 01 if his SHF op. updated his KG-84 yet. It's 0835z no more from Air Force 1, they must be back in Utah by now.

Signal strength varied from S-4 to S-9 to S-0 then came back up to S-4 then dropped to S-0 again. Searched 225-400Mhz could not find GEP sig.
