MAINSAIL isn't that a general call to all ground ststions? Quoted:
MAINSAIL isn't that a general call to all ground ststions? This is from some Internet website so take it FWIW: ...As you can see, before the message they repeat the first six letter readout three times before the message and after the whole message is broadcast, it is also repeated. Messages usually end with mainsail out but this can vary depending on where it is transmitted (ex. Andrews out). Mainsail is the collective callsign for any ground station in the network.

Deer run back on 11175 Also Night Watch and Looking Glass are both in the air. Is that normal? LOOKING GLASS is the E-6B operated by STRATCOM - used to be up 24/7/365 for airborne nuclear command and control. |

What are you guys listening to this on? Do I need a shortwave? I'm assuming this is it |

I listen in on 8992 USB when I'm on there.

Should be on the hour and half hour... I remember hearing it last year or so and the lady that was speaking had a Mexican accent and with the static made it somewhat hard to hear everything she was saying. |
| Sometimes I'll go to WebSDR and just park myself on 8992 or 11175 for hours at a time. There's just something so cool about listening to all these various coded messages going out over HF. It kinda feels like stepping back in time to the days of the Cold War or something. Sitting around listening for messages going out over radio waves just seems so nostalgic, the kind of stuff people did before we had computers and high speed internet in every home. |
