That would explain all the phone patches and orderwire comms. yesterday. Posted most of them in the HF utility forum. Good information, thanks for posting this! Mike

These exercises usually aren't announced in media releases like this, let alone discussed much in any official open-sources, so this is interesting, and I guess obahama really is trying to play nice with Putin.

I'm hearing a fair amount of lowband skip. A good portion seems to be Canadian from the accents and what sounds like French at times. I've noticed they seem to be a bit more lax than US comms when it comes to radio protocols (using yes instead of Roger etc...). They don't seem to be transmitting a 150.0 Hz tone that often either. 225-400 seems fairly quiet so far with only a few AR activities.
