Im taking a "beyond-wild guess"
but i did hear 3172 earlier, but i havent heard anything on it- I didnt know if that was a frequency or a callsign,etc. so i just randomly put one of my radios on it and heard a 5sec "whistle" like sound. This was a little after 8pm our time

Here is a recording of the aircraft giving the freq name on 8 megs. He referred to it as secondary.
8000_Bloodhound300_wkg_Surveillance.mp3
I missed the 30 mins or so when they went from 8 megs to 2 megs due to being away from the computer/radios
Big thumbs up to Token for finding that freq. Just out of curiosity was that done with the Excalibur?Anyway that was definitely some interesting stuff to monitor. Always good to pick up a few new SoCal freqs in the process
Thanks again for the suggestion of the IRC chat. I think that is going to be an excellent resource based on feedback tonight. 73 and good night

I guess that about puts paid to secondary. I think a safe assumption is 2781.5 is primary, and some yet unknown is tertiary.
Yes, that was with the Excalibur. The fact that it is constantly sampling and displaying the entire HF range regardless of what else you are doing with the radio is a huge help in tracking these kinds of things. Of course it is not a magic bullet, I still had to sort through a dozen or so possibles, waiting for each to key up again so I could confirm them, but a dozen is much easier than unlimited.
Did you not the droopy CW "S" in your recording? You may know this already, in which case ignore
, but that would be pirate beacon "S" out of SW Arizona.T!

Wait-was it Token or was it Nickcarr who rediscovered the operation at 2mhz?

This one point I bolded in your text is something that never occurred to me. What exactly do you call the equipment you are using there Token?I guess that about puts paid to secondary. I think a safe assumption is 2781.5 is primary, and some yet unknown is tertiary.

Many of us in the #wunclub IRC chat had been listening on 8000 kHz, some direct and some via the audio stream that ranger was running. When the stations started to switch freqs because of comms issues there was a bit of a scramble as several folks in the chat started looking for what freq the comms had switched to.
I found the freq and threw the number into the chat, and everyone who wanted to be was once again onboard, either direct or via a stream.

I don't think I have named the radio...although my wife sometimes has a few choice names for them all.
The radio used in this case was the WinRadio Excalibur G31DDC, an SDR.

ok then thank YOU for running them down-I was all over the bands here pulling my hair out with my archaic means of hunting stuff till Nickcarr came in here and let us poor slobs with older rigs in on the action
thanks again Token-and Nick!Token

So the shot was very early this morning, or maybe very late last night. What we were listening to was before the shot it sounds like.
The Mugu Sea Ranges cover many, many, many, square miles of open ocean. Ocean that are quite often "open" to the public except during a test. I do not think it far fetched that they may have had to start insuring the area was clear the day before a night shot.
