haha...I heard that callsign too ! Just caught the last couple of sentences. Sounds like they really love each other !!! Or maybe, it is a new secret code language. lol Then there was a REACH call just after that.
Im sorry but Im not sure I follow you??? "DARK" is a common callsign for the B-1B Bomber. They also commonly use the call sign "BONE"."REACH" is an AMC (Air Mobility Command) Callsign commonly used by C-17s,C-5s and C-130 heavy lift aircraft.

The phone patch I heard sounded like it was between husband/wife or bf/gf. They did say 'I love you' (like a couple of teenagers) a couple times, but by the time I hit record on my voice recorder, they were saying good bye to the other. Replaying it now, there is a "love you" from him to her. Recorded 8 aug 12 at 0250z, it was REACH 710 w/McClellan. DARK 61 was just before that. Notice the time you posted and my time, just two minutes earlier. I didn't know that getting all luvy duby was of high military importance ! lol
Sorry if my post didn't make sense, but this is the kinda stuff ya miss when you're not recording every second of what you hear. That's what I gotta start doing.

I guess it is better than hearing "LOL" over the GCHFS

What is the process involved in creating an EAM ? Who initiates it, a senior officer ? How many people does it go through before it is read out on the air for the intended party ? ...and others who may be listening, like us ?

1803utc "Opera 36" puts out several requests to Offut for a phone patch to "Coyote" with little success, someone butts in and yells "Offut open up your ears!!" ..first time I ever heard someone on this frequency not follow strict protocol

No maybe someone here can fill us in
just heard another informal convo at 2210utc but only one side-I heard someone at one of the bases saying "hello-hello-hey you are broken up at best like you're in a phone booth" then "what can I do for ya......no we were just on our way out, just finished rollcall.....yeah good to hear you too-out" but I didn't get the ID

This is just an educated *GUESS* based solely on their request for a phone patch to "Coyote:"
OPERA 36 was an asset of the 58th Special Operations Wing (AETC), which is based at Kirtland AFB NM. If definitely an aircraft, probably an MV-22, MC-130 or HH-60 platform.

There are prior posts/responses giving a basic explanation here. Not every US military coded broadcast is an EAM. EAMs are issued by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, either as training or upon authenticated request of the National Command Authority. The coded EAM is derived by codes contained in an Emergency Actions Procedures document, depending on what the message is -- worst case scenario is that it is the Emergency War Order bringing US nuclear forces into battle. There's a lot of specific planning, preparation, error-checking, & authenticating that goes into it, but the process is also designed to be pretty quick, and then the EAMs are shot-gunned out by a variety of non-secure & secure communications systems.
Much of the EAMs are actually pretty routine messages, designed not only to provide training to all parties involved, but to foil traffic analysis by other parties, so that they're not going to raise their own alert just because their SIGINT people catch the USA broadcasting an EAM. This was gently explained in a prior response to some new listeners who apparently thought each EAM they heard merited a post about it, but that didn't go over too well with the babies...

who are you namecalling here?
I was just going to ask him the same question??
Ranger 61 to McClellan AFB on 11175khz 8/20 @ 2324z attempting to get Wx information. The Wx "info" sounds like a computer-generated voice.
Ranger 61 reports McClellan "Broken and UnReadable"
(I'm hearing both sides fine from Seattle)
Ranger 61 QSYs to 11220khz
Asking for p/p to <something> Island to DSN-735-8233

DSN 735 would be Naval Air Station North Island, or Coronado, in San DIego CA (but not Naval AIr Base Coronado, that has a different DSN).

ok I gave you a couple days to respond-but seeing how you instead drop your little bomb then go run and hide, I will make these points.
1. The incidents you elude to happened 4 months ago, Who's being the poopy pants by not letting it go?
2. If you look this thread over, it was going just fine till YOU came in here and delivered your browbeatings about what the "protocol" should be posting in here. I was the lucky recipient, but my responses to you were respectful towards you and your knowledge on this, while your responses to me were condescending and arrogant. 3. As a result of your "gentle explanations" this thread went dead for 3 MONTHS most likely because nobody else wanted to be subject to a scolding if their postings be deemed as "dumb" by you.
Someone finally "broke the ice" at the end of last month and started the thread up again.
4. This is key-Hooligan, everybody in here knows you as "the authority" on these things because we all learn from your most valuable and vast knowledge, and I personally have shown you much respect here-why can't you be cool about it instead of being all uppety

Since EAMs occur on more frequencies than just 11175 I would suggest we have a separate thread for commonly heard “EAMs”. That way when unique or unusual traffic pops up on 11175 it does not get lost in the more common EAM notices. I see no reason not to post about EAMs, no matter how common they are, if the poster wants to. But, I know I sometimes miss post about interesting stuff that happens on 11175 because of the EAM posts.
This would also leave the possibility of threads addressed as the “other” HF-GCS freqs, like 4724, 6739, 8992, 11175 (already mentioned) 13200, and 15016 and any interesting comms that might show up on those.
Maybe threads titled something like "EAMs" for common EAM and EAM like traffic, "11175 other than EAM" and "6739 other than EAM" ,etc for other types of HF-GCS traffic.
Anyone else think that would work?
