Get in here and get comfy. It's probably just an exercise, but we can never know, especially regarding these comparatively high global tensions.

11175 USB or you won't hear calls.
is it finally happening this time?
im ready for the nukes to drop already
so tired of this evil clown world
what exactly is the stated purpose or use of that channel for communication anyways?
who are the ppl communicating on it and why?

Here's the quick rundown:
>US airforce uses VLF (very low frequency) to communicate with it's strategic forces around the globe
>due to the very nature of radio, we can listen in using the site in the OP or other Software Defined Radios
>because everyone could theoretically listen in, the messages are encoded using an One Time Pad (completely unbreakable)
>these messages (called Emergency Action Messages or EAMs) are orders to nuclear-capable forces all over the world
Basically, we're listening because more frequent EAMs could indicate a sharp rise in tensions (the frequency went wild during the occupation of Crimea, for example). This way, we can get wind of happenings before everyone else outside of the military does,
SKYKING messages are extra special, because they are thought to be Go/No go orders for nuclear assets. The more often you hear a skyking message repeat, the more serious the situation is.
thanks for this. been in these threads before but never went down the rabbit hole
>you will never be in a late night kangz thread laughing about "did this dude just say Gundam Drop on the radio the chair force is weebs" and see later that day that they dropped the MOAB on a cave
Oh, and Nightwatch is a Boeing E-4, the current "doomsday plane". It's purpose is to provide a command center for the US army even after the pentagon gets glassed.
>tfw I missed this and the three consequent Snowfall calls
>US airforce uses VLF (very low frequency) to communicate with it's strategic forces around the globe
Incorrect. HFGCS is in the HF band.
Hold up. I thought 1-30 kHz is VLF.
Nevermind I'm retarded,
160 Meters (1.8 kHz) through 10 Meters (28 kHz) is HF
t. Radio Operator.
whahahaha you throw away hours of your life just for that... have sex.
Wow, this autism is still going on. I'm glad it is.
Why are 80s and 90s American cars such a big deal with Moscovites?
>background noise
>extra open tab
to think i could of been spending my time trying to cure cancer or save the white race instead of studying for ham technician exam for a vanity license plate
Rate my grilled cheese /skg/
Quiet man quiet man
So what now ?
Can I ask them for a QSL card ?
No matter what you do you'll never top this
fucking kek man, awesome.
I always loved the 900 except for the signal processor.
t. IC-7851
it looks pretty good, you should sprinkle a few drops of whitewine on the cheese, just to give it that fondue / croque monsieur flavor
>22 K35R in the air
you have way too much money to spend, americans.
>IC-7851
I am europoor.
Also I like old stuff, because all options and settings are available with switches, no need to go in menus.
What antennas do you have ?
Gotta make up for weak allies.
Israël is not weak !
>What antennas do you have ?
More of an antenna garden than a farm. Homebrewed G5RV for 80/40/20/10, Magloop for 160, longwire with Unun for 60,30,17,15 and just an off the shelf Comet for 2/440.
VLF is onlY used to communicate with submarines.
Very low bandwidth and high power consumption of the transmitter.
What happened to warrant a skyking thread? Did I miss something?
nice !
I run a long wire with a 9:1 unun, planned for a vertical for local QSO on 40m
A G5RV has amazing NVIS properties at Grayline.
Interesting, but I'll have a hard time setting up a tower. Maybe a wire running in the trees around the property.
I go to the local club for DX anyway
You guys don't use 2 meter/70cm for local QSO?
I think it's just back for Nostalgia and/or DPRK.
quiet man will sleep alone tonight, sad.
No, old guys are all on 80m with 1 KW to get on top of the italians with 10 KW and germans with 100 KW. Then russians come with 2 GW. This is a fucking mess.
I wish i could listen to Guard Freq, where all the pilots shitpost on a comfy freq.
desu I don't remember this quiet man waiting for traffic. Maybe there is an exercise going on ?
That's what I think. "Waiting for traffic" seems to occur more often when multiple sentry planes are in the air, probably training for some scenario or another.
>160 Meters (1.8 kHz) through 10 Meters (28 kHz) is HF
that should be Mhz (megahertz) not Khz (kilohertz)
the military uses the VLF band specially for submarine communications
the VLF band can be easily tunned using almost any soundcard like this:

George Forman grill?
I've been looking for one of these threads for like a week. I have been listening for about that long too. Is Nightwatch the callsign that's on, or is that something else? Earlier was Quietman... or something like it. That guy is new and nervous about transmitting. Yesterday, he had a long message and had to keep aborting and resending due to errors.
I also saw a digital message earlier that started out transmitting fast, but kept repeating slower and slower. It was kinda interesting. Anyone know what that is? Just now it sounded like a russian soap opera was playing in the background.
>but kept repeating slower and slower.
8992 ? If yes, OTH aussi radar.
yes, they also shitpost on the air.
>8992 ? If yes, OTH aussi radar.
'twas 8992, but I don't think it was radar. There was a distinct "start of packet" marker before each segment... Sort of like what's going on right now just under 8980.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
german to chinese learning!!!
WHAT THE FUCK
You aint heard nothing yet.
They have German to Chinese, French to Chinese, Italian to Chinese, Polish to Chinese and even Hungarian to Chinese. It's like every country has it's own designated Chinese propaganda channel.
What's Quiet Man?
radio china international!!!
IN GERMAN
WTF.....they are realy talking in german about china traffic
im fucking blown away, this is not happening
when will we hear ayyy lmaos?
