The Container, or The Box, is marked as R4808A on the new NTTR Range Chart, Edition 1. On the older Nellis AFB Range Chart, Edition 4, it was marked as R4808E, and connected to R4808N, which includes most of the NTS. It seems that the detachment of Groom from the NTS is reflected in the latest map.
To quote an NTS tour guide, asked about Area 51 by a curious tourist who shall remain nameless: "There is no Area 51 in the Nevada Test Site". Which technically is correct.

I have 228.0 as R74 ops, so I assume what you heard was a bombing exercise. UHF is usually used for ground-to-air, while the VHF frequencies are used plane-to-plane. Beige 30 is a new one for my list.
