What you were hearing was an EAM or Emergency Action Message. These are very common and routine on 11175. Generally the higher priority messages sent are the "Sky King" messages. On many occasions these high priority messages are directed at nuclear launch sites.

"For Topic", or something that sound simillar to "Topic". The "For XXXXX" format is frequent on these HF-GCS freqs.

T!

Andrews calling "SKYKING" just now usb at 2000utc

[AlaskaMike]

Puerto Rico (never heard them before on 11.175) working an aircraft at 03:40z. I couldn't hear the aircraft much at all, and the ground station sounded a little muddy with significant fading.

Anyone else hear this one?

Edit: sounds like the aircraft was REACH 1005 maybe.

HAVOC 11 has been trying to phone patch with RED RIVER / Barksdale AFB for 30 mins......I can hear both sides but they are having trouble communicating with each other. I heard the crew talking with each other about rtb around 0800 zulu.....

I have c/s "HAVOC" listed as a B-52 2ND BW 96TH BS BARKSDALE LA.

[karldotcom]

Yes, the B52 was also talking air/air to BANGOR on 11175....I guess they had just left a refueling track...I didn't catch which AR number it was. Do those B52s have a long wire out the back of the plane?

I caught that one also and could hear both sides, but apperantly they could not. Lots going on tonight, just heard King 21 on a phone patch through Offut with Andrews in the bacground doing the same. Weird Offit is stronger than Andrews here tonight. Who might king 21 be?

[kcoleman]

I have the KING c/s as either C-130's from Moody AFB, GA or Patrick AFB, FL

[AlaskaMike]

I caught that as well. There was an aircraft with KING callsign asking for a phone patch, I think to KING ops. I couldn't copy the exchange very well, so I could easily be wrong.
