VHF/UHF Logs, including satellites and radiosondes / Re: Military Low VHF Skip

« on: May 13, 2023, 2056 UTC »

Looking to see if someone might be able to help me out with a request.  My VHF lowband setup is not what it used to be otherwise I'd do this myself.
I have a restored military vehicle complete with the radios and I'd like to be able to have some military comms running through the speaker when at car shows etc.   I'm planning on wiring up a bluetooth speaker into the existing setup.

Next good band opening for someone, it would be great to have maybe 30 minutes of a mp3/wav file of military comms.   Not picky at all, scanning through the band is fine as long as there's around 30 mins of transmissions.   If anyone can help out, I'd sure appreciate it!

Thought it might be useful to have a HFGCS log thread similar to the EAM/FDM one, but for generic traffic on the net. 

24JAN2023
At some point during the day on 11175,
AFKAI01 calling for radio check
SLEDGE61 calling for radio check
SLEDGE63 calling for radio check

1815z 11175 kHz  MAINSAIL and RAYMOND21 conducting a radio check.  RAYMOND21 is the Offutt command post.  Interesting if they have HF capability now or are going through the global system.  They have stated in the past that they had no HF capability.
