Exercise Southern Fury

Exercise Southern Fury kicked off this morning. F/A-18s from MCAS Beaufort worked at Townsend Range with support from an E-8 JSTARS from the 116th ACW at Robins AFB. My monitoring was incomplete due to work, but here is a listing of frequencies and callsigns from my monitoring prior to work:

282.200 = Jax Center Jekyll Low
322.500 = Jax Center Savannah Low

139.700 = Safety of Flight
228.400 = Townsend Range, CAS ISR
301.950 = CAS/ISR (normally VMFA-312 Tac 1)

225.725 = JSTARS Discrete
376.125 = JSTARS Discrete
372.150 = JSTARS Discrete (encrypted)
381.000 = JSTARS Discrete (encrypted)
388.225 = JSTARS Discrete (encrypted)

339.500 = VMFA-115 Tac 1
283.400 = VMFA-122 Tac 1
354.325 = VMFA-122 Tac 2
250.300 = VMFA-224 Tac 1
336.225 = VMFA-224 Tac 3
299.300 = VMFA(AW)-533 Tac 2

STARGATE = E-8C, 330 CTS
HONCHO = FAC/JTAC
SMOKEM(?) = unknown Ground Station
BLADE = F/A-18A+, VMFA-115
NIKEL = F/A-18C, VMFA-122
BENGAL = F/A-18D, VMFA(AW)-224
HAWK = F/A-18D, VMFA(AW)-533
OTIS = KC-130, VMGR-252

Another possible exercise frequency is 302.200, but I haven't confirmed it yet. Hopefully I'll have more to add tomorrow.
