5723

US Navy comms tonight on 5723 USB w/ Uniform, Sierra Whiskey, Echo, Mike and other players. Quite weak out here on the west coast, but for our east coast friends you may have better luck.

Got it now on 5723 thanks

I threw all the power to it I got and cant get a copy-too weak. I just hear voice. What is their location?

 

[brandon]

How does it sound up your way?

 

[brandon]

6688 with similar traffic. Both of these frequencies have been logged the past couple days on HFmonitors, so I figured it was worth plugging in now that I got both antennas up.

 

[ridgescan]

Bad-I just hear voice but cannot copy at all

 

[SCPD]

Nothing up here but I'm three hours late to this thread...

UPDATE: Scratch that. I'm hearing comms on 6688khz but the guy has a deep voice so it's hard to hear the callsigns. Oh there we go.

ROMEO is the deep voice guy. He's calling KILO. He's requesting a phone patch. He's weak (S5) but barely readable here.

Hearing more (but weak) traffic on 6688khz at 0556z (10/19/2010) --

BTW, these freqs are listed in the MilAir Top 1000:

Receiving a lot of activity again on 5723kHz despite bad band conditions on 5 megs tonight. The noise level here is about S9 but they are still blasting in over the noise at a moderate 10+ from my location here in Rhode Island. Nothing so far on 6688kHz.

 

[SCPD]

Yeah I'm barely hearing it here. Keep reporting what you hear...

 

[WisconsinRailfan]

strong signal w/ low noise on my KA1103 portable with just the included long wire. Just caught "continue with escort"

There are a lot of aircraft on patrol checking in with track number requests to Echo Charlie Uniform "Net Control".
I would imagine that there must be an Aircraft Carrier or two involved in the exercise.

Found some info on the operation at radioscanner forums
(links to Google translator. Scroll down to bottom)

Yep, I'm catching some traffic on 9031khz. It's quite weak however.

For you guys on the east coast, are you picking up a data signal on 5694khz? There was just a huge data burst on 5703... not sure what was...
