Tim Braun suggests spending some time listening to Haiti operations
on 4088.5. He says that camping on the frequency could prove
entertaining.
I recently picked up a copy of the 8th Edition of GROVES'S SHORTWAVE
DIRECTORY. This edition has been edited by Larry Van Horn who also does
the UTILITY WORLD column for Monitoring Times. I've been using it to
update the databases I keep for computer control of my main receiver.
I haven't had the book long enough to be able to comment on its
accuracy. However, based on past experience with previous editions, it
will become a much referred to item. I specifically like the inclusion
of the digital modes and the identification of the mode/speed/shift
of a particular frequency. It makes it easier to set up the receiver
and copy the traffic. I also like the fact that Larry did not
concentrate exclusively on US agencies. When events are hopping
overseas, being able to listen in to other major players can be
informative. One thing I do miss is the absence of the cross index in
the back to provide guidance when a signal is picked up and the
identity of the transmitting agency is unclear. The book is about the
same length as the 7th edition and is punched for a looseleaf notebook.
It sells for just under $30 with a binder and about $25 without the
binder from Grove's. I picked up my copy from Universal in Columbus, so
it is being sold by other places as well. Keeping in mind that I have
no financial interest in the book or in any of Grove's businesses, I
would recommend the book to ute listeners. I have found it to be a good
reference source in the past and am impressed with the new edition.

Its the start of a brand new year, and we have a ton of information
for you to start things off right. To start things off, I'll give you a
review of the 1994 (Eighth) edition of Bob Grove's Shortwave Directory.
This edition is edited by Larry Van Horn. A new feature is the entire
book can be purchased with a three-ring binder. The pages are all
three-hole punched. That makes it nice to work out of, as the pages
don't flop over requiring one to use his radio as a weight to keep the
pages down!
Its about 250-pages and now includes RTTY and FAX listings and
their mode of reception. In the back is an extensive glossary that
identifies abbreviations, acronyms, international "Q" and "Z" codes,
voice procedural, morse code prosigns and more. It covers HF users A
through Z, including; military, government, public safety, embassies,
business, scientific, numbers stations, broadcast feeds, clandestine's,
to name some. I checked out the U.S. military sections rather closely
against what I listen to, and I can describe this edition as "much
improved". Its a good source listing of many varied and different areas.
That makes it an excellent book for the new "UTE", and one veterans will
still find some interesting information in. One particular area of
interest was the circuit indicators for the French Forces RTTY stations.
The cost is US$29.95 including the binder, or US$24.95 without,
plus US$5.00 UPS shipping from Grove Enterprises, 300 South Highway 64
West, Brasstown, N.C., 28902, U.S.A. (1-800-438-8155).
Chuck Yarbrough returns with his reviews of the new Klingenfuss
books, this month we have Guide to Facsimile Stations.
Review: Guide to Facsimile Stations By Chuck Yarbrough
The newest (13th) edition of the Guide to Facsimile Stations has
recently been published by the German company Klingenfuss Publications.
As in past editions, the book is quite complete in its coverage of
shortwave facsimile transmissions.
The 392-page softbound book is a bit thinner than the previous
edition, but a brief glance shows that Herr Klingenfuss has completely
updated the frequency listings, as well as expanding his coverage of
satellite facsimile reception. Increased facsimile on geosynchronous
satellites seems to be the norm these days and it is good to see that
the Klingenfuss works reflect this trend.
A glance at the table of contents reveals chapters on choosing
facsimile equipment, tuning techniques, ITU Regulations, meteorological
satellites, frequencies and callsign lists of fax stations as well as
their broadcast schedules.
The bulk of the book is filled to the brim with actual facsimile
intercepts. This is useful in identifying your own intercepts. Many
times you may receive a weather chart which looks perfectly clear, but
the identifying text on the chart is blurred. Klingenfuss' collection of
sample charts provides "look alike" charts which you can use to identify
your intercept.
If you buy this book thinking that you are going to get just a
frequency list, you will be pleasantly surprised. The wealth of
information Herr Klingenfuss provides is well worth the price. If you
are seriously interested in learning about HF facsimile, then this is
the best reference source you can buy. The author has crafted a worthy
successor to his previous edition.
As if you can't tell, I wholeheartedly recommend Joerg Klingenfuss'
new Guide To Facsimile Stations to all SPEEDX readers. With 278 fax
frequencies, detailed schedules from 90 meteo stations, and over 300
sample fax charts, this book should be on the shelf of EVERY serious
facsimile monitor. Actually, mine usually stays OFF the shelf and ON my
radio desk!!
The Klingenfuss Guide To Facsimile Stations (13th Edition) is
available for 50 German Marks directly from Klingenfuss Publications,
Hagenloher Strasse 14, D-72070 Tubingen, Germany. It can also be
purchased from Universal Radio, Reynoldsburg, Ohio for US$24.95.
The straight "FAX"...
AOK, the U.S. Navy at Rota, Spain, are turning into real wanderers
on five megs, they have left 5864.0 Khz., and are presently transmitting
on 5906 Khz., where they apparently moved to escape severe interference
from a RTTY station.
MILITARY
CanForces
As part of a navy modernization program, the Canadian government is
building 12 frigates of the City-class, also know as the Canadian Patrol
Frigate, or CPF. The lead ship of the class, HMCS Halifax (FFH-330), has
already been commissioned. All of these helicopter frigates will be
named after Canadian cities. Also all of the Tribal-class destroyers
built in the 1970's, have undergone conversion programs to make them AAW
ships. These are the HMCS Huron, Algonquin, Athabaskan, and Irogois
(DDH-280 to 283).
U.S. NAVY
The Navy has redesignated their carrier-based S-3B Viking squadrons
as "Sea Control" squadrons. Formerly known as "Air Anti-Submarine"
squadrons, the name change will reflect the changing role of the
aircraft. Viking squadrons, which have been increased to eight aircraft,
are based at NAS Cecil Field (FL), NAS North Island (CA), and one
squadron based at NAF Atsugi, Japan, is permanently assigned to the USS
Independence (CV-62).
The Navy's prepositioning ships program is growing, and will now
include the Army. The first Army-dedicated ship, M/V Cape Douglas, has
loaded Army equipment and ammo in Charleston, SC. Called the Interim
Brigade Afloat Force (IBAF), eight Military Sealift Command (MSC) ships
will carry U.S. Army equipment and supplies. The IBAF will operate in
the Indian and Pacific Oceans within five days sailing of potential war
or contingency sites. All ships are to arrive at their operating
positions by April, 1994.
CJTF 120.1 continues in Operation Support Democracy, off the coast
of Haiti. The Joint Task Force now includes the USS Flatley (FFG-21);
USS Fahrion (FFG-22); USS Klakring (FFG-42); USS Mississippi (CGN-40);
and USS Platte (AO-186).
The Leahy-class Guided Missile Cruiser USS Reeves (CG 24) has been
decommissioned, and the Los Angeles-class Nuclear Attack Submarine USS
Hartford (SSN 768) has been launched.
The USS Hayler (DD-997) "Second to None", the USS Boone (FFG-28),
and the USS Leroy Grumman (T-AO-195) remain the U.S. contributions
enforcing the sanctions of the UN against Iraq.
Mars News
Some new NAVMARCORMARS (Navy Mars) calls to pass along: NNN0CAZ is
the USS Underwood (FFG-36), and NNN0NWW has been assigned to VAQ-139 NAS
Whidbey Island, who will deploying aboard the USS Carl Vinson.
U.S. Air Force
More unit changes! The Air Force will transfer F-15E initial
qualification training from Luke AFB, Ariz., to Seymour Johnson AFB,
N.C., in late-1994 as part of a major force structure and realignment
proposal. The Air Force announced dozens of actions Nov. 12 affecting 47
installations in 29 states. Additionally, they announced it is changing
the designation of two units to preserve their legacy during the defense
drawdown.
In January, the 56th Fighter Wing at MacDill AFB, Fla., becomes the
6th Air Base Wing and the 363rd Fighter Wing at Shaw AFB, N.C., becomes
the 20th Fighter Wing.
Other changes: Alaska: Transfer alert operations from King Salmon
Airport to Elmendorf AFB in mid-1994 and inactivate Detachment 5, 3rd
Wing and associated supporting units. The airport will go into caretaker
status to support weather and emergency divert efforts, random alert
operations and military exercises.
Arizona: Transfer 25 F-16C/D aircraft to the 58th Fighter Wing at
Luke in mid-1994.
California: Base 24 KC-10A aircraft at Travis AFB. Travis will get
10 aircraft in late-1994 and the remainder sometime in the future.
Florida: Relocate the Reserve's 301st Rescue Squadron and 482nd
Fighter Wing to Homestead AFB, along with the Air National Guard's North
American Air Defense alert activity. The change also canceled the
482nd's conversion to refueling aircraft. Plans to inactivate the 31st
Fighter Wing were not changed. The 301st RS will be assigned to Patrick
AFB, Fla., until permanent facilities are ready at Homestead. The 16th
Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field will receive three additional
MC-130H aircraft.
Georgia: Relocate 12 A-10A and six OA-10A aircraft to Moody AFB in
mid-1994, followed by the relocation of eight C-130Es. The actions are
part of a plan to make the 347th Fighter Wing a composite wing. The
347th FW will lose six permanently assigned F-16C/D aircraft, leaving
the wing with 36 F-16s. The Air Force also will inactivate the two
Homestead squadrons temporarily assigned to Moody to meet fighter force
reductions.
Louisiana: Transfer 10 KC-10A aircraft from Barksdale AFB in
late-1994 and the other nine aircraft sometime in the future. The Air
Force is modifying its May 27 announcement about the 46th Fighter
Training Squadron at Barksdale. The unit will not become an Associate
Reserve unit, but still will receive eight B-52H aircraft and stand up
by the end of the year.
New Jersey: Transfer 19 KC-10A aircraft from Barksdale to McGuire
AFB. The first 10 aircraft will arrive in late-1994. They will
eventually base 24 KC-10As at McGuire; however, details are still being
worked regarding the remaining 14 aircraft.
North Carolina: Transfer Seymour Johnson's KC-10A aircraft to air
mobility bases. Ten aircraft will depart in late-1994. With the transfer
of the KC-10As, the 916th Air Refueling Group at Seymour Johnson will
receive 10 KC-135R aircraft and become unit-equipped instead of being an
Associate Reserve unit.
Oklahoma: Change the Reserve's 507th Fighter Group to the 507th Air
Refueling Group in mid-1994 when the unit converts from 24 F16A/B
aircraft to 10 KC-135R aircraft.
Texas: The Air Force will not relocate the 924th FG (Reserve) from
Bergstrom AFB to Carswell AFB and will indefinitely postpone converting
the 924th from the F-16A/B to the F-16C/D aircraft. Additionally, 10th
Air Force (Reserve) will remain at Bergstrom.
Also redesignating three units as part of an ongoing initiative to
reduce the number of wings. The 22nd Air Refueling Wing, formerly at
March AFB, Calif., will stand up at McConnell AFB, Kans.,in January,
replacing the 384th Bomb Wing as the host unit. The action is part of a
plan to change the base's primary mission from long-range bombing to air
refueling. The 384th BW will become the 384th Bomb Group until the
bombers depart. The 321st Missile Wing at Grand Forks AFB, N.D., becomes
the 321st Missile Group, and the 91st Missile Wing at Minot AFB, N.D.,
becomes the 91st Missile Group in March.
The McDonnell Douglas Corp. delivered the third operational C-17
Globemaster III transport to the Air Force at Charleston AFB, S.C.,
where it will join the 437th Airlift Wing. The 437th will field the
first operational squadron of 12 C-17s.
The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron designation was activated
and assigned to the Air Force Reserve's 403rd Airlift Wing, Keesler AFB,
Miss., Nov. 1. While the "Hurricane Hunters" were being activated, their
old unit designation, the 815th Weather Squadron, was inactivated. The
53rd WRS traces its roots to August 1944 when it was activated as the
3rd WRS at Presque Isle Army Airfield, Maine. The former active-duty
unit was inactivated June 30, 1991, when the Air Force's entire WC-130
weather reconnaissance mission was transferred to the Reserve.
The Air Force has announced new unit designations and realignments
for several U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) locations in an effort to
preserve the heritage of its fighter squadrons. The 20th Fighter Wing
flag from RAF Upper Heyford, England, will move to Shaw AFB, S.C., by
January and the 36th FW flag from Bitburg AB, Germany, will transfer to
Andersen AB, Guam, by October. Upper Heyford will return to complete
host nation control and Bitburg will be partially returned as a result
of the defense drawdown. At RAF Lakenheath, England, the 493rd Fighter
Squadron, flying F-15Cs, activates in January. The Liberty Wing's 492nd
and 494th will remain as F-15E squadrons. The 510th FS at Spangdahlem
AB, Germany, will be replaced by RAF Bentwaters' 81st FS but will remain
an A-10 unit. The 22nd FS from Bitburg, flying F-16s, replaces the 480th
FS and the 53rd FS, flying F-15Cs, also relocates from Bitburg. (Via Air
Force News)
MARITIME
No time like the "Maritime's"...
Hoegh-Ugland Autoliners has announced purchase of two RO/RO
vehicles for delivery in late 1994. These vessels will replace the HAUL
Trader and the HAUL Transporter, which will be taken out of service and
sold to the U.S. Maritime Administration for use in the MSC fleet.
American President Lines has ordered three new container ships from
Daewoo Shipbuilding and Heavy Machinery. They will be used to replace
four ships operating in West Asia/Middle East service. No word on names
yet.
