GHFS Recent Activity Update
UPDATE ON GHFS ACTIVITY - 1250 UTC 18 Sept 2014
Learning through other sources than a number of USAF assets are being mobilized across CONUS for movement to Mideast in support of published DOD activity in Iraq and Syria theaters. Rumored that most command activity is originating out of USCENTCOM in Florida. Mobilization is underway now, this probably accounts for at least some of the increased traffic activity across the GHFS channels and sites.
As observed by other members, here, USAF tanker activity is on the rise, supporting the theory that other assets (aircraft) may be in the process of mobilization and/or repositioning. This is all a guess, but logical! The solar flare last week affecting HF radio communications, is no longer a factor.
If information is correct, it is likely GHFS activity will continue at higher than normal levels for a while.
Is anyone aware of the physical location of station "Red River"? If you know, can you reply or post here, thanks. BTW do NOT think it is Barksdale AFB, La as previously mentioned elsewhere.
Have a good day listening to the world!

The Wretched
This makes sense with the traffic I heard last night on the Pawnee ART 1 @ 297.3
You heard these guys from the UK? I'm guessing via remote? Also how do you determine who is the E-6, B-2 or B-52?
Why don't you think RED RIVER is Barksdale? I had a B-52 the other day from Barksdale making contact with RED RIVER. I have logged similar contacts from the bomber wing in the past.
Red River
Thanks for the note, well it does make sense to me since the Red River darn near runs across the west edge of the field, however I have several people post on this site that Barksdale AFB is NOT the Red River call-sign.
I also have heard B-52 call-signs calling Red River, which also makes sense since of bunch of them are based there, 8th Air Force, 2nd Bombardment Wing & 307th Bomb Wing.
I just hate details like this that I cannot verify. Any ideas how to find out for sure? Somebody associated with Radio Reference is bound to know for sure!

Plenty of Activity on GHFS Today
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
USAF GHFS has been busy today (9-24). 11.175 came alive around 0000Z and has been sporadically busy all morning, at least so far.
Recent stations:
Puerto Rico Global
Andrews
BOLT 32
Variable - for DSN phone patch - QSY to 11.220 (not in my list)
REACH 125
Offut AFB
Red River
Lockheed 5760 (new one for me)
Most messages today, except radio checks, in coded groups with authentication packages.
Increased activity heard today over the last few days. Atmospheric conditions are good, no local static (thunderstorms) and A & K indices are good.

Just heard DTMF tones, followed by an automated voice: "the parameters will be applied to the transmitter and receiver", followed by more DTMF tones.
