This morning between 1143 - 1154 Z, Offutt AFB transmitted, I believe, the same 30 character message on USB frequencies: 11175, 4724, and 8992.
8992 was as clear as usual in SW Ontario, but the other two were just barely audible.

The "typical" (many times a day) frequencies for simultaneous EAMs are 4724, 6739, 8992, 11175, 13200, and 15016 kHz, all 6 carrying the same audio. These are not the only frequencies that might carry parallel EAM transmissions, they are just the most common. How clearly you hear each frequency will depend on propagation. How many echos you hear in a transmission, and how deep they are, will also depend on propagation.
When the source is airborne the maximum number of frequencies can be smaller, depending on the platform. Some aircraft types only support 3 or 4 parallel networks / transmissions on HF. When the source is airborne you might also find the same EAM on UHF.

Thanks for your insight, Token.
It seems EAMs are a lot more abundant in light of the N. Korea situation.
Land5urfer, out.

Land5urfer Land5urfer This is 07code04stalker1776 ;D I did copy Offutt calling McClellan around 1340z

Can also catch some unencoded EAMs on 6925 kHz.
-
the 6925 EAMs are by far the most interesting ones
-
Thanks for the 6925 tip, guys.

6925 as in a pirate radio station?

I was just minding my own bidness, trying to come to grips with using my new sdr and it's software, when out of the blue, I come upon this:

As you can tell (at around the 1:20 mark), I'm still learning how to tune this wacky thing, LOL. You crazy kids, you.

What was on 14940?

14940?

McClellan gave a message of 39 characters followed by a message of 114 characters earlier. A lot of long messages today.

Good catch! Can you recall the time and frequency of both messages?

14940?

In the video, there was a carrier on 14940 and his 2nd VFO was set to that as well.

Ahhh, very observant.. Took a while for me to figure that out, LOL. There wasn't anything there worth mentioning.
