8.942 MHz Upper

[TOUGHLIFE]

Recently, I heard Singapore Aeronautical Radio as well as a Phillipine Air flight flying somewhere over the southwest Pacific Ocean utilizing only a dipole antenna laying on the ground in northwest Arizona. I use an ICOM-718 ham radio as a shortwave receiver and it seems to work very well. 8.942 is very active around 1200 to 1400 GMT in my area.

I monitor it each morning and later migrate to 11.282 for San Francisco Aeronautical Radio during the day, often into the early part of the evening.

8942 is always fun to monitor... it can be quite the circus at times. It's not uncommon to hear Manila, Singapore and a few airliners all talking at once

On the subject of SE Asia MWARA... 11396 is another good freq for that area. This morning I caught "Aussie 715" (Royal Australian Air Force C-130H) working Jakarta with position report. Jakarta had a beautiful signal and hopefully a sign of things to come! In the last solar maximum I used to hear Ujung Pandang on this freq as if they were transmitting from down the street.
