DACN US Five-Character Net 16011 USB 1524 UTC 14 DEC 2022
« on: December 14, 2022, 1543 UTC »
DACN US Five-Character Net 16011.0 kHz USB 15:24 UTC 14 DEC 2022

Presumed to be US Five-Character Net (DACN), FEMA Department and Agency Continuity Net (DACN) [Hugh Stegman].

15:24 UTC - Loud and clear, some signals at S+10;
15:38 UTC - ANDVT type traffic; traffic on-going between at least 2 stations up to 15:51 UTC;
15:54 UTC - ANDVT type traffic resumes;
16:12 UTC - Short burst of ANDVT type traffic;
16:15 UTC - ANDVT type traffic resumes intermixed with ALE.

Media: 16011 kHz ANDVT Traffic Sample

Notes: (1) An interesting observation. I can hear who I believe is 1BGQY and 61ZB7's antenna tuner tune up prior to transmission. This is odd as ALE stations should be using fast tune antenna tuner units (ATU) with memory. Sounds like a Collins ATU.
(2) Thus far, no analogue traffic has been observed on this net.

61ZB7 is a STRATCOM Airborne Command Post. The same tune up "growl" can be heard on the HFGCS.

Clear voice transmissions are rare, but have been heard. In those instances, tactical call signs have been used, however, in the last clear voice I heard, the ALE address was used as the call.

I've only ever heard the growl come from airborne units tuning up. Sounds (pun intended) like they're testing interagency linking presumably for continuity of government in case of the Pocalypse.

61ZB7 is always an Airborne Command Post. Whether it's an E-4B or E-6B, I haven't a clue.

This is the FEMA DACN (Department & Agency Continuity  Network) & it's active in the third week of each month when the first week starts no later than a Tuesday. In December, the net kicked off a week early, presumably because of the holidays. In January of 2023, exercise dates should be on the 18th & 19th.
