Israel-Iran crisis HF comms.

[EAFrizzle]

Is anyone catching any HF utility or broadcast stations from the area? I'm hearing a few weak EAMs on 8.992, barely audible on 11.175 but not on 311.000. That frequency seems to be routine flight comms the past few days.

I miss when BBC, Christian Science Monitor, and Kol Israel had great MidEast coverage.

Last night from about 23:30 - 01:00 z, near continuous EAM traffic on 8.992, better signal but fuzzy audio from solar conditions. "Thresher" with OM on majority of traffic, Unknown callsign with YL occasionally, with weaker signal. Nothing heard on 311.000 or 321.000, so not a unit out of Tinker for me.

what about other HF comms for tankers and others? reports of 40 tankers airborne.

Probably a lot of the comms are on the newest Satcom systems; 320-340MHz uplink\340-360MHz downlink.
That being said; 6761KHz USB has been used in the past.
