For the newbs;Josh, do you have a source one can use for identifying the various call signs? For example, Drysands is heard this morning at 17:00 UTC. Thanks! 73, Walt in Victoria, BC
BANK LOAN would be an E6 TACAMO (USN) or E4 NIGHTWATCH (USAF) checking into the NCA (National Command Authority) net on HF, they will also have a parallel network running on MILSTAR (EHF/laser satellite, use of this sat will be the obvious when the ac is offshore any real distance as some flights venture out off the coasts) and/or ground/air UHF MUX.
TWIN BED would be the current callsign of the corresponding ground comms unit supporting NCA flights via sat, UHF MUX and HF.
Some of these birds can take control of entire missile wings to launch ICBMs if needed, these flights will have to be within UHF range of the wings in question to exert control. Otherwise the flights orbit a loop (to keep that miles long trailing wire VLF antenna as vertical as possible) near a string of GEPs (Ground Entry Points) that have UHF MUX duplex capabilities including a T1 or better innernet line. The flights that venture out over the oceans will be using HF, MILSTAR, and as always VLF to the SSBNs patrolling the world.
Any idea why the Skyking messages have ceased on HF?
There have been around 3 known Skyking messages for all of this year.
