On which freq of Dutchmill do theu operate?

Most of the time they check in on 128.3500 MHz during the week and 120.8300 MHz in the weekends. I even caught them on UHF once in a while; 240.9000 MHz. But 9 out of 10 times on VHF. And also check the UACC Maastricht frequencies in the weekends. Reach 121 is now with them on 132.6350 MHz.

The last months I don't recieve them on those freq. I receive them ok on freq 131.075 (Lippe radar), but when they change to Dutchmil I don't hear them anymore.

Maybe there is something wrong with the scanner.

Must be, because I receive them all the time. By the way: 131.0750 MHz is 131.0800 MHz for a while now .

Only desgination changed, same as 120.825 -> 120.830

RCH flights flying during weekends over The netherlands will be working 132.635 while flying in between FL245-FL355 (from memory) and 132.085 FL355+ , never with Dutch Mil during weekends anymore for some time now
Having said that, OAT traffic flying lower than FL245 (Old model C-130's for instance) will be working Dutch Mil 128.350 as Amsterdam is not allowed to handle OAT traffic. Other mil traffic working flying GAT below FL245 will be working Amsterdam.

So during weekends traffic inbound Germany from West can be heard as follows : 132.085 -> 132.635 (desending to FL270) -> 131.080 (desending to FL250) -> 127.625 -> 124.475
Traffic outbound Germany towards Oceanic can be heard as Follows : 131.080 -> 132.635 -> 132.085 (if climbing higher as FL355 otherwise 132.635 will be maintained) -> 259.600
Traffic Inbound Mildenhall from the East can be heard 131.080 -> 132.085 -> 132.635 -> 259.600

OAT traffic During weekends (most of the time 352SOG C-130's) can be heard : 259.600 -> 128.350 -> 128.500 and other way around.
GAT traffic during weekends below FL245 can be heard 125.750 -> 124.875 -> 128.500 and other way around

Just had the British QRA up from Leuchars, 2x 6Sqn. Typhoons working with Hotspur on 270.150 and RTB via Scotmill on 277.775.
Callsign was AOU11 and AOU12.

You're most welcome, hope you will catch them now during Weekends. Believe RCH687 is currently overhead at FL300 so should be on 132.635

EDIT, RCH687 already with London 259.600

Not sure if they intercepted anything at all...

But why did the QRA go up then? It's not for practise on a sunday.

Well, could be Commless aircraft who regained contact. So in A-scramble became T-scramble to burn some fuel...
