Reports are that a naval exercise is underway off the east coast US starting Jan 8th. Time to fire up the HF gear! :) If anybody catches any activity please share.

Very good signals here on the east coast on 8974 USB. One station c/s (MIKE) has a whirling siren type sound when he keys up. Anybody know the purpose of this tone?

I thought that was pretty funny. He said "Station identifying your self as MIKE you have a crappy radio and you're interfering with my aircraft" Haha.

Lol. I've heard that tone before in other air defense nets in the past. Also the loud feed back squeal is common. Maybe the USN needs to upgrade their HF gear.

What the heck are those tones? Sounds like a video game???

There was a discussion about that feedback a while back. Sounds like a toy running out of battery power. Just heard some ENC comms alittle while ago.

"I authenticate time 18, Delta Yankee." Sounds just like a sky king message.

The video game sound is paired with the encrypted signal. Cool sound.lol

I was going to sugguested that it was some kind of fleet comm encription by the net control station. I think it's a malfunction. I think they fixed it now.

NVM it's back.

Video game sound still in there. I agree must be malfunctioning equipment as its very erratic now.
