USS Harry S. Truman, CVN-75 and CVW-3 Carrier Strike Group

The USS Truman Carrier Strike Group is currently working off of the coast of Florida, using SEALORD's airspace, Avon Park Range, and Pinecastle Range. Most of the radio traffic has been well out of range for me, but I have been able to hear some traffic from the higher aircraft like the E-2s. The E-2Cs have been using BICEP for the front end callsign and CLOSEOUT for their back-end callsign.

120.950 - Sealord North Primary
267.500 - Sealord South Primary
227.250 - Tower or LSO?
289.650 - Marshal
235.550 - Strike
271.900 - Red Crown
273.350 - HOTEL ZULU
283.650 - HOTEL PAPA (Button 7)
367.625 - CLOSEOUT Tac

3.167 USB has been reported active as an HF frequency, but I have been unable to hear it due to noise around 3.172 USB.
