For those that don't know - this is one of the more easily monitored networks that the US Military uses. For more information, see our wiki article:

I've always heard Andrews better than Offutt on the west coast, so not sure how this one will come it.

Read the 2 links that were given in previous messages of this thread. You will need a receiver capable of SSB reception and a good antenna, preferably outdoors and away from the home. We have lots of information on both in our wiki - using the pulldown in the blue toolbar, mouse over wiki then click on HF Radio Topics

A good rule of thumb is to listen to 10 mhz or so and higher during the day, lower at night, propagation permitting.

Hey Dave, if I'm not mistaken, Andrews operates a network of stations and even though the operator says Andrews, the actual transmission may or may not be. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me.

I sent that in to Monitoring Times...I heard DAKOTA from Burbank. The night before OFFUTT was handling all the traffic so it surprised me. (and last night I heard Elmendorf for the first time)
