The frequency was being used by airborne command post participating in a STRATCOM communications exercise. No designator has been assigned at this time. Other notes on USSTRATCOM related frequencies from Jeff Haverlah. 11244.0 kHz 1. This frequency is a special HF-GCS discrete that is used by *every* named HF-GCS station for Emergency Action Messages (EAM) and FOXTROT broadcast. In fact, it has been described as the "broadcast" frequency. Stations here do not respond to MAINSAIL general calls on this frequency. 2. This frequency is guarded by the Nightwatch 01 (US Air Force E-4 National Airborne Operations Center or NAOC) station (which uses daily changing callsign aliases) and is paired with 8992.0 kHz. 3. This frequency is used by the apparent USSTRATCOM Looking Glass mission aircraft for daily EAM transmissions at any time, and used for repeat EAM transmissions at H+25/H+55 mostly during North American daylight hours (and at any part of the day during exercises). Paired with 8992.0 kHz. Also guarded by the Glass mission and other U.S. Navy E-6 TACAMO aircraft when active. Note: The primary mission of the Looking Glass aircraft is the ability to command, control, and communicate with its nuclear forces. Its highly- trained crew and staff ensure there is always an aircraft ready to direct bombers and missiles from the air should ground-based command centers become inoperable. Looking Glass guarantees that U.S. strategic forces will act only in the precise manner dictated by the president. On Oct. 1, 1998 the Navy's E-6B Mercury aircraft replaced the USAF EC-135 in the Looking Glass mission. 4. Used by possible tanker aircraft (maybe on their SIOP mission) passing 4-element groups to "SkyMaster" (NAOC and TACAMO aircraft) during exercises and paired with 8992.0 kHz. The 4-element groups have been called "TID traffic" by SKYMASTER aircraft. 5. Used by other U.S. government stations (i.e. Federal Emergency Management Agency-FEMA, etc) including the static call "Blue Grass" (Mt. Weather, Virginia) as a frequency to pass "Hotel" messages. These messages are passed to each other and to the NAOC aircraft (using an alias separate from that particular day's callsign). This activity is usually during the third week of each month, is not paired with 8992.0 kHz, and many of the station's use callsigns begin with the letter "A" (i.e. Axle Rod, Army Ruler, etc). 6. Units here always identify the frequency as 11244.0 kHz and not with a tactical designator. 6697.0 kHz 1. This frequency is used by the TACAMO aircraft for daily evening/night (North America) EAM transmissions during the following time slots: H+07/H+37 by a TACAMO LANT aircraft H+14/H+44 by a TACAMO PAC aircraft 2. EAMs have been heard at any time during initial broadcast, simulcast on 8992.0, 11244.0 and on the USSTRATCOM Zulu net frequencies above. 3. This frequencies is also used by possible TACAMO aircraft to communicate with trigraph identifier stations during exercises (usually to receive 3-element group traffic from these trigraph stations.) 4. Also is used 24-hours a day by the United Kingdom's station MKL and their trigraphs (many of these thought to be Nimrod aircraft). 13155.0 kHz 1. This frequency is used by the TACAMO aircraft for daily daytime (North America) EAM transmissions during the following time slots: H+07/H+37 by a TACAMO LANT aircraft H+14/H+44 by a TACAMO PAC aircraft 2. EAMs have been heard at any time during initial broadcast, simulcast on 8992.0, 11244.0 and on the USSTRATCOM Zulu net frequencies above. 3. The activity on this frequency apparently moved here from 11267.0 kHz a few years ago. 11267.0 now seems to be quiet probably indicating that it is no longer used for this purpose. Other U.S. Navy frequencies heard recently with EAM broadcasts by Jeff Haverlah and the column editor. 4515.0 4848.0 5680.0 6512.0 6666.0 6686.0 6720.0 6724.0 6778.0 6833.0 6903.0 7501.0 7589.0 8020.0 8971.0 9007.0 9010.0 9036.0 9283.0 10515.5 10805.0 10994.0 11187.0 11255.0 11271.0 13155.0 14698.0 15038.0 15049.0 16117.0 These and other old U.S. Navy HF HICOM (High Command) frequencies have been active in past with heavy EAM traffic. (See HF-GCS section above about the demise of the HICOM network) ======================================================================= *U.S. Air Force =============== High Frequency Global Communications System (HF-GCS) ==================================================== The U.S. Air Force High Frequency (HF) Global Communications System (HF- GCS) is a worldwide network that currently consist of 15 high-power HF stations which provide air/ground HF command and control radio communications between all Department of Defense (DoD) ground agencies, aircraft and ships. Allied military and other aircraft are also provided support in accordance with agreements and international protocols as appropriate. The HF-GCS is not dedicated to any service or command, but supports all authorized users on a traffic precedence basis. On Jun 1, 1992, the former Global HF System (GHFS) was created by consolidating other U.S. Air Force (USAF) and U.S. Navy (USN) HF networks, including the USAF Global Command and Control System (GCCS), the Navy?s Ship-to-Shore High Command (HICOM) network, and the dedicated Strategic Air Command (SAC) Giant Talk System. The goal of the merger was to develop one worldwide non-dedicated HF network capable of providing Command and Control (C2) HF communications support to all authorized DoD aircraft and ground stations. As of 1 October 2002, the former GHFS network is now known as the HF Global Communications System (HF-GCS). The old high power HF equipment being utilized within the HF-GCS has now been replaced with "Scope Command" equipment. Scope Command incorporates Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) technology for use over HF. Scope Command is not the name for this network as some have indicated in the past post to the WUN and other newsgroups. It is the name of the equipment upgrade being done to the network. In January 2003, all HF-GCS station transmit and receive equipment is remotely controlled from the Centralized Net Control Station (CNCS) at Andrews AFB, Maryland. This ALE technology automates many of the functions performed by the operator such as selecting the best propagating frequency from a list of authorized frequencies. Net Procedures General Calling - Aircrews use a preliminary call as outlined in ACP-121 US Supp 2 using the collective callsign "MAINSAIL" or the HF-GCS station call sign (example: Sigonella Global this is Dark 86 on 11175, OVER). HF- GCS operators require approximately 10 seconds (for automated equipment configuration) to respond to calls for service. The HF-GCS operator may request the aircraft change to a discrete frequency for improved and/or extended service. Phone Patch Service - Phone patching allows direct voice communications between ground agencies and aircraft by electronically connecting telephone circuits to radio transmitters and receivers. Phone patch service is reserved for official unclassified business only and shouldn?t exceed five minutes. Patches of more than five minutes or of a sensitive nature should be run on a discrete frequency. Aircrews requesting a phone patch must include all information necessary for HF-GCS operators to complete the call, such as the identity or location of the called parties and telephone number if known. Phone patches are monitored by HF-GCS operators and if radio reception isn?t of sufficient quality to complete the patch, they will attempt to copy the traffic and relay it to addressees. Message Relay Service - HF-GCS operators transcribe encoded or plain-text messages for aircraft or ground stations and forward them to the addresses by radio or landline. The text of the messages can be in the form of alphanumerics, code words, plain text, acronyms, and/or numerical sequences. Aircrews may use "READ BACK" procedures when the message data is critical, or when an incomplete transmission is suspected due to poor radio reception. All messages received by Global stations will be accepted and delivered by the fastest means available according to precedence and priority. Published Frequency Listing - HF-GCS stations operate on "core" frequencies to provide increased "Global" coverage. The published frequency listing does not reflect complete system frequency authorizations. These published frequencies will be used for initial contact, EAM broadcasts, and short term C2 phone patch and message delivery. Other extended or special services will be moved to each station?s available "discrete" frequencies. Any and all known discrete frequencies for these stations have been incorporated below in the HF-GCS station listings. Frequency Guide - The frequency guide below is used by units contacting this net and is designed to optimize their air/ground communications. Primary HF-GCS Frequencies - 24 hours 8992.0 11175.0 Back up HF-GCS Frequencies - DAY 13200.0 15016.0 Back up HF-GCS Frequencies - NIGHT 4724.0 6739.0 Commonly heard callsigns BRICKWALL Osan Air Mobility Control Center (AMCC) DENALI Elmendorf Air Mobility Control Center (AMCC) HILDA GLOBAL Tanker Airlift Control Center Scott AFB TRACKER US Air Force Europe Tanker Recce Airlift Control Center (UTRACC) MAINSAIL Authorized users may contact and request service from Global HF System stations by using the general net air-ground call sign "MAINSAIL". Any Global station hearing the call "MAINSAIL" will respond and provide the requested service. S4JG A universal Navy call sign assigned to Patrol Squadrons (VP) for use in radio checks. Instead of using the briefed, tactical call sign, the Navigation/Communications operator on the P-3C Orion aircraft would use S4JG on voice and also teletype to get a communications check with a Tactical Support Center (TSC), HF-GCS station or Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Operations Center (ASWOC). In theory by using S4JG, the tactical call sign is less likely to be compromised. SKYBIRD The collective call sign for all U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) command posts, launch control centers, Global HF stations, Air Traffic Control (ATC) towers on Air Combat Command (ACC)/Air Mobility Command (AMC) host tenant bases, Single Sideband (SSB) HF radio stations, and air defense sites in Canada. SKYKING The collective call sign for all Single Integrated Operational Plan (SIOP) committed aircraft and missile crews. Its meaning is ?all SIOP committed aircraft and missile crews copy the following message.? SKYMASTER The collective callsign to all USSTRATCOM airborne command post. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The current station list for the HC-GCS net is as follows: Andersen Air Base (AB), Guam (Voice call Guam Global) Summer: 4724.0 (1300-2000Z) 6739.0 (1100-2000Z) 13200.0 (2000-1300Z) 15016.0 (2000-1100Z) Winter: 4724.0 (1200-2030Z) 6739.0 (1000-2030Z) 13200.0 (2030-1200Z) 15016.0 (2030-1000Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Andrews AFB, Maryland (Voice call Andrews Global) HC-GCS CNCS Summer: 4724.0 (0430-0930Z) 6712.0 (0230-0930Z) 13200.0 (0930-0230Z) 15016.0 (0930-0230Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0200-1230Z) 6712.0 (2400-1230Z) 13200.0 (1230-0200Z) 15016.0 (1230-2400Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequencies: 8058.0 11053.0 11159.0 11181.0 11214.0 11220.0 13960.0 14863.0 18015.0 Ascension Island (Voice call Ascension Global) Year round: 4724.0 (2400-0700Z) 6739.0 (1900-2400Z) 8992.0 (24 hrs) 11175.0 (24 hrs) 15016.0 (0700-1900Z) Discrete Frequencies: 9043.0 11159.0 11226.0 14497.0 Croughton AB, United Kingdom (Voice call Croughton Global) Summer: 4724.0 (2230-0400Z) 6712.0 (2230-0400Z) 13200.0 (0400-2230Z) 15016.0 (0400-2230Z) Winter: 4724.0 (1800-0800Z) 6712.0 (1800-0800Z) 13200.0 (0800-1800Z) 15016.0 (0800-1800Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequencies: 4894.0 5708.0 5117.0 6728.0 6731.0 6993.0 7567.0 7933.0 8032.0 9025.0 10648.0 11118.0 11129.0 11180.0 11181.0 11220.0 11226.0 11232.0 11271.0 13822.0 15042.0 15091.0 Diego Garcia Naval Station, Indian Ocean (Voice call Diego Garcia Global) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequencies: 9012.0 11181.0 11226.0 11244.0 11269.0 13254.0 15095.0 20910.0 Elmendorf AFB, Alaska (Voice call Elmendorf Global) Summer: 4724.0 (1000-1300Z) 6739.0 (0800-1400Z) 13200.0 (1300-1000Z) 15016.0 (1400-0800Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0230-1900Z) 6739.0 (0030-2130Z) 13200.0 (1900-0230Z) 15016.0 (2130-0030Z) Year Round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Hickam AFB, Hawaii (Voice call Hickam Global) Summer: 4724.0 (1000-1600Z) 6739.0 (0500-1000Z) 15016.0 (1600-0500Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0800-1700Z) 6739.0 (0400-0800Z) 15016.0 (1700-0400Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequencies: 11181.0 13242.0 Keflavik NAS, Iceland Summer: 4724 (2200-0530Z) 6739.0 (2200-0730Z) 13200.0 (0530-2200Z) 15016.0 (0730-2200Z) Winter: 4724.0 (2000-0800Z) 6739.0 (2000-1000Z) 13200.0 (0800-2000Z) 15016.0 (1000-2000Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Lajes AB, Azores (Voice call Lajes Global) Summer: 4724.0 (2230-0400Z) 15016.0 (0400-2230Z) Winter: 4724.0 (1800-0800Z) 15016.0 (0800-1800Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 13200.0 Discrete Frequencies: 11220.0 13440.0 14896.0 23265.0 McClellan, California (Voice call McClellan Global) Summer: 4724.0 (0730-1300Z) 6739.0 (0530-1300Z) 13200.0 (1300-0730Z) 15016.0 (1300-0530Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0500-1530Z) 6739.0 (0300-1530Z) 13200.0 (1530-0500Z) 15016.0 (1530-0300Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Offutt AFB, Nebraska (Voice call Offutt Global) Summer: 4724.0 (0600-1100Z) 6739.0 (0400-1100Z) 13200.0 (1100-0600Z) 15016.0 (1100-0400Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0300-1400Z) 6739.0 (0100-1400Z) 13200.0 (1400-0300Z) 15016.0 (1400-0100Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequency: 10589.0 11053.0 11159.0 11181.0 12087.0 Salinas, Puerto Rico (Voice call Puerto Rico Global) Summer: 4724.0 (0300-1000Z) 6739.0 (0100-1000Z) 13200.0 (1000-0300Z) 15016.0 (1000-0100Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0200-1100Z) 6739.0 (2400-1100Z) 13200.0 (1100-0200Z) 15016.0 (1100-2400Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Discrete Frequencies: 7690.0 9006.0 10648.0 11056.0 11220.0 11484.0 15087.0 Sigonella Naval Station, Sicily, Italy (Voice call Sigonella Global) Summer: 4724.0 (2230-0400Z) 15016.0 (0400-2230Z) Winter: 4724.0 (1800-0800Z) 15016.0 (0800-1800Z) Year round/24 hours: 6739.0 8992.0 11175.0 13200.0 Thule AB, Greenland (Voice call Thule Global) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 13200.0 15016.0 Discrete: 11181.0 13215.0 Yokota AB, Japan (Voice call Yokota Global) Summer: 4724.0 (1200-1930Z) 6739.0 (1000-2130Z) 13200.0 (1930-1200Z) 15016.0 (2130-1000Z) Winter: 4724.0 (0930-2200Z) 6739.0 (0730-2400Z) 13200.0 (2200-0930Z) 15016.0 (2400-0730Z) Year round/24 hours: 8992.0 11175.0 Notes: 1.

You should generally hear more than two over any 24 hour period. Of interest, the preface to the FOXTROT broadcasts that would name the echoing ground stations have not been heard (here) since maybe sometime in April 2003 (around the end of major combat in Iraq.) I've heard no instance of a request to DIEGO GARCIA or THULE or anyone else since around that time, just the occasional FOXTROT broadcast from ANDREWS or whoever. They dropped the DECENT, ENLIST, FAIRLY, EYESTRAIN, DEFROSTER echo requests sometime around Sept 2001 (maybe) to be replaced with plaintext station names (THULE; DIEGO GARCIA; CYPRUS FLIGHT WATCH) after 9/11, and now since around April 2003 maybe nothing. Busiest frequencies are 8992.0 ("Eight-Niner") and 11175.0 ("Triple-1"), which most stations guard around the clock. The others operate on a schedule which changes twice yearly, on the first of April and October. The upper sideband (USB) mode is used on all HF-GCS frequencies listed above. Note: The data signal you will on 9025.0 kHz is ALE which is a computerized system that simplifies HF operation (see section below). Older frequency circulated on the internet continue to list 8968.0 and 17976.0 kHz, but these were removed from HF-GCS service over three years ago. The ALE system used by the U.S. Air Force HF-GCS network is designated MIL-STD-188-141A. You can download a software program developed by Charles Brain to decode these digital transmissions at the following URL: http://www.chbrain.dircon.co.uk/. ALE allows automated ground agency contact by selecting the best station and best frequency without operator interaction. ALE radios make this possible by using a datafill that contains frequency, station and other pertinent information. For ALE radios to operate properly, the radio must have a loaded datafill, be turned on in the ?automatic? mode and remain there the duration of the flight. If the radio is removed from the ALE mode, history tables will require time to rebuild and initial communications may be slightly degraded.

Large scale annual SHARES exercises are conducted in April, August and December. SCN Operational Levels SCN Operational Levels are designed to improve the responsiveness of the SHARES Coordination Network during emergencies. SCN Operational Levels are defined as follows: Operational Level 3 - Conditions normal. No emergency exists. The ten- channel SCN may be used by SHARES station personnel for training and non- emergency operations. Operational Level 2 - Emergency potential exists. Non-emergency operations on the SCN suspended. SCN monitoring increased. Check-in windows established on the national and regional nets to receive Stations Availability Reports. Operational Level 1 - Emergency exists. SHARES message support required. National and regional nets maintain full-period operations to receive Station Availability Reports, to list SHARES message traffic, and to coordinate the processing of SHARES messages. *U.S. Customs Service ===================== The COTHEN (Customs Over the Horizon Enforcement Net) HF radio system seems to have replaced the older JTF designated systems.

Rick Baker says that 18971.0 kHz may also be another. *U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ===================================== HF Recovery Communications (RCOM) The Recovery Communications (RCOM) Program, mandated by a variety of United States national level documents including Presidential Executive Orders and National Security Decision Directives, was established to encompass all FAA emergency command and control communications (C3) systems and projects under one program. Emergency C3 systems are defined as those means of communications that the FAA employs to direct management, operations, and reconstitution of the National Airspace System (NAS) in support of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and Department of Defense (DOD) missions during national disasters or national security emergencies. The FAA maintains a variety of fixed-position, portable, and transportable C3 communications systems for use in support of emergency operations. One such commonly heard C3 system is the RCOM/NARACS High Frequency/Single Side Band (HF/SSB) Net. In 1995, the FAA approved the deployment of the RCOM HF/SSB upgrades and a five-year contract was awarded to Eastern Computer Incorporated (ECI) for the purpose of upgrading the FAA RCOM/National Radio Communications System (NARACS) HF network. ECI has installed the RCOM HF/SSB upgrade at all the FAA Region Offices and Emergency Operations Centers, and is the final phases of installing the NARACS/ALE upgrades at all Air Route Traffic Control Centers (ARTCCs). FAA HF connectivity nets are conducted on Wednesday UTC. The East Coast net meets at 1545 UTC on 8125.0 kHz with KIT 88 as net control. The West Coast net was last reported on 13630.0 kHz at 1845 UTC.

The Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF/Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Air Operations Communications System (AOCS) is a high frequency radio network providing communications services for the operational control of RAAF/RNZAF aircraft and HF equipped marine craft [army ground stations are also commonly heard]. In addition, visiting military aircraft may use the AOCS when contact with Australia/New Zealand military authorities is required. The AOCS is not part of, and does not provide, an air traffic control service, civil or military. 2. The AOCS network consist of six Air Operations Communications Centres (AOCCs) located at Sydney, Darwin, Townsville, Perth, Auckland [NZ] and Woodbourn [NZ]. The combined AOCS provides: A. A General Purpose Net (GPN) on which all AOCCs guard the same three frequencies. All AOCCs can transmit and receive on these three frequencies simultaneously. B. Discrete frequencies are available (if required) at each AOCC and allocated after initial contact on the GPN. C. Telephone patch facilities between aircraft and ground appointments. D.

Listen to the Architect weather broadcast at H+00 and H+30 (see above). If the UKADGE circuits are active, there will be an announcement after the weather broadcast with the code-letters for the active frequencies. For example: "Additional information.. 2.. PK.. tack..401C.. tack.. AG" (which is repeated twice). The first number indicates which Air Defense radar station is active 1 - Buchan, Boulmer and Benbecula 2 - Buchan 3 - Boulmer (has not been heard for many years) 4 - Neatishead The first 2-letter-group is the code for the active HF frequency from the list below. It is sometimes referred to a the 'JAAWSK Frequency' (Joint Anti-air Warfare Shore Co-ordination). It carries most of the voice traffic, including target positions and Beaver details. This channel also carries frequency changes and position reports. The third group is the Charlie squared channel, where AWACS aircraft pass their radar data over a HF link. Known frequencies are: 2250.5 401A 33??.0 401B (exact freq unknown) 4478.5 401C 6673.5 401D 8500.5 401E The final group is known as chick co-ordination, where combat aircraft which are HF-capable can be passed target positions and other information. In the example above, Buchan is the ADR station, using 5095 khz for voice traffic, the AWACS are using 4478.5 khz, and the chicks are on 4745 khz.

This is known as the JMC - Joint Maritime Course. The forces are split into two opposing forces, and they use an extensive network of HF frequencies for voice co-ordination and encoded data transmissions of radar pictures (known as Link 11). Each HF frequency is given a KJ designator, and these run from KJ01 up to at least KJ50. Some of these frequencies are in the UHF military aircraft band. The tie-up between designator and frequency changes with each JMC course conducted. During some JMC's some designators are on UHF frequencies in one course and on HF frequencies in the next course. The following JMC frequencies are known: 3343.0 3357.0 3805.0 4477.0 4484.0 4502.0 4778.5 4860.5 5045.0 5091.5 5206.0 5267.0 5276.5 5280.0 5310.0 5385.0 5460.0 5733.0 5910.0 6224.0 6237.0 6697.0 6779.0 6882.0 6940.0 7795.0 7934.0 9394.0 11149.0 *Royal Navy (RN) ================ Warship Frequencies 2487.0 Channel 02 Ships working MTI 2662.4 Channel 02P Ships working GYA/MGJ 2760.4 Channel 02Q Ships working GYA/MGJ 3806.4 Channel 03P Ships working GYA/MGJ 4153.0 Channel 04 Ships working MGJ on 3390 kHz 4153.9 Channel 04P Ships working GYA/MGJ 4879.9 Channel 04Q Ships working GYA/MGJ 6246.9 Channel 06P Ships working GYA/MGJ [was 6242.9 kHz] 8144.9 Channel 08P Ships working GYA/MGJ 8179.9 Channel 08Q Ships working GYA/MGJ 8339.0 Channel 8A?
