A note, most of this information is interesting, but I find it hard to
hear any meaningful military communications, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I guess if you listen LONG AND HARD you will find something, good
luck, |

Military Long Range Aeronautical Frequencies |
|
U.S.
ARMED FORCES GLOBAL HIGH FREQUENCY SYSTEM IS NOW
CALLED |
|
The
High Frequency Global Communications System (HF-GCS). |
|
|
|
The High Frequency Global Communications System is a network of |
|
single side band shortwave transmitters of the United States Air Force |
|
which is used to communicate with aircraft in flight, ground stations |
|
and some United States Navy surface assets. All worldwide receiving and |
|
transmitting sites in the HF-GCS system are remotely controlled from
Andrews AFB. |
|
|
|
PUBLISHED FREQUENCY LISTING - HFGCS 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 phone patch and
message delivery. |
|
Other extended or special services will be moved to each station’s
available "discrete" frequencies. |
|
|
|
You may hear highly encrypted or coded voice transmissions at times that
make no sense |
|
whatsoever. Just be patient. Military and national security at work! |
|
|
|
HF-GCS stations tend to operate in the aviation bands clustered around
5, 8 and 11/12 MHz, |
|
although other frequencies are in use. |
|
|
|
The
primary HF-GCS voice frequencies are. |
|
4724.0
KHz, 6739.0 KHz, 8992.0 KHz, 11175.0 KHz, 13200.0 KHz and 15016.0 KHz |
|
Primary
HFGCS Frequencies 24 Hours: 8992 and 11175 |
|
Back up
HFGCS Frequencies Day: 13200 15016 |
|
Back up
HFGCS Frequencies Night: 4724 6739 |
|
|
|
In addition to the HF-GCS, U.S. aircraft frequently use
Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS) |
|
HF
stations (13927.0 KHz) and Canadian Forces HF stations (11232.0 KHz) to
relay messages. |
|
|
|
Although transmissions are often single sideband, the use of the ALE , a
type of digital transmission mode, is more and more common. |
