Did you monitor the channel, i.e. hear the radio traffic? It used to be that the AWACS would put out a timing pulse on a discrete frequency. That is, you park a scanner on the frequency, and you would get a periodic chip. I'm thinking 10 second spacing, but this was years ago.

The only timing I hear today with the awacs is the "mickey", as in "give me a mickey" or "was that a good mickey". You need to monitor the awacs quite early in the game to hear the phrase and then the tone that is transmitted.
