Was scanning 19m broadcast band when I saw this pop up, and was zoomed out enough with my waterfall that I couldn't immediately tell that it was Trenton Military VOLMET rather than an EAM on 15016 (one had transmitted there just minutes earlier). When I clicked on it I was surprised to see it off its usual frequency. Trenton Military ID at 1715, but could tell based on the voice and the usual "no reports received - break" from every base that they cover. I couldn't find any info that they had changed frequency anywhere, and though I don't generally log things I know I was copying on 15034 earlier this week.

19:25 UTC - Confirmed, good readable with some NRRs and some actual reports.

15031.0 kHz is a MACS discrete frequency.

The saga continues with this service ...

I heard a carrier when I tuned in at 2105 UTC, and the Trenton VOLMET info started back up at 2109 UTC on 15031 USB. Very odd; also, of course, most of the report is "no report received."
