Hi ocandstiggs1968
I found these at: http://www.fltplan.com/ type in SAW in the quick airport window.

SAWYER Tower Frequencies: 119.975 MHz Hours (local) of operation: 0600-2200
SAWYER Ground Frequencies: 121.65 MHz
Unicom Frequency: 122.700 MHz
AWOS: 118.37 MHz
APCH/DEP SERVICE PROVIDED BY MINNEAPOLIS ARTCC ON FREQS 119.1/290.2 (SAWYER RCAG).

I was stationed there in the mid 70s. I have an old frequency card but it doesn’t have any description of what the frequency was used for. Some of the UHF frequencies we used were: 289.0, 275.8, 255.6, 259.3, 269.0, 236.6, 257.8, 364.2, 344.6, 395.9, 290.9, 388.2, 391.9 and 255.4 MHz. I think the first was our squadron ops, the next 4 or 5 may have been used by the tower, and the last one. I’m not sure about the others, I’ve slept since then. Does bring back some memories of the UP though.

Speaking of Sawyer air base. Check this out.

Heres the reason why I say this.

From the site.
********************************************
HAARP is officially claimed to be an ELF radio research project. ELF radio has an interesting history and some useful attributes that give it military value. Project Sanguine by the US Navy once used ELF radiation in the 40-80hz range to test communications capabilities. Evidently these tests were successful because they later upgraded the 45 km (yes that's kilometers) Project Seafarer antenna an Clam Lake Wisconsin with a 222 km one. Another 90 km antenna was constructed at KI Sawyer Air Force Base in Michigan. Navy ELF radio is primarily a very simple one or two letter signal used for granting the 'go-code' to pre-positioned subs to launch their nuclear missiles. Alternatively because of the limitations of this communications system ELF is used as a "bell ringer" to notify the submarine crew to surface and use more conventional radio. Boo!-Poltergeisty :-0
