USAF HF-GCS 4724 kHz usb – Emergency Action Message
I made a brief recording of the US Air Force high frequency global communication system – emergency action message. Recorded with my Tecsun pl-660. 2013-10-09 02:09 EDT / 07:09 Z/UTC. I think this comes from Andrews AFB in Maryland.

Rarely do I do any SW dxing. If I do, my goal is nerdy stuff that isn’t a straightforward broadcast. Examples include ham chatter, wx, radiofax, beacons, etc. Today I decided to target volmet broadcasts in upper sideband mode. NYC, Ontario and Ireland were all very clear with clean copy. MKL from England had a high static threshold making it difficult to understand at times.

I definitely received Radio Habana on 6165. Nowhere on their site or any other site is this frequency listed but I heard a solid ID. Not sure what the situation is…

I caught a couple of interesting sideband broadcasts just by happenstance. WLO is is a commercial maritime weather station in Mobile Alabama. In addition to weather, they also do ship-to-shore communications in the Gulf, the Pacific and other places. You can see the antenna farm here. The other catch was “New York Radio” WSY70 which transmits from New Jersey about 70 miles south of New York City. This is an transatlantic aircraft weather service that is part of the VOLMET system. You can see the antenna here.

Just a couple random shortwave loggings this night. Yet another Rebelde from Cuba (have logged many on MW). The more interesting logging was Radio Japan’s spanish language service transmitting from French Guyana.
