- I'm sorry that this question may be a little inapropriate on this newsgroup
- , but I got no response on rec.radio.shortwave, and figured there were many
- people here that might listen to military communication whether it be hf,vhf,
- uhf, and beyond.
-
- 1) I was wondering if anybody know of the callsign, ICE07. I heard it on
- 8997 kHz, a frequency that seems to be used by the USN in Antarctica.
-
- 2) Has anybody noticed the repeated use of the callsign FOXTROT TANGO on
- USN frequencies--11191kHz, 4735kHz, etc.? I have heard it used with other
- 3 character call signs (letter-number-letter and also one char. call signs
- (letter) Does anyone know what this is? Or what is the PLAYGROUND?
-
- 3) does anyone know the some of the following callsigns--LONGHAND,MANGNOLIA,
- BRONSON,BLUESTAR,PINSTRIPE.
-
- 4) Is there any good references on these military callsigns so I don't have
- to waste bandwidth asking questions like this.
-
- Once again, I am sorry for the HF intrusion on this newsgroup.
