[MilCom] WIDEBAND COMS

[Steve Douglass]

Caught another interesting series of multiplex communications on 
368.2500 MHz today. Wideband transmission last for several hours, 
disappeared for a couple hours and then returned. Communications 
consisted of several SSB  voice communications ( located to either 
side of the wide band frequency) with a strong carrier containing 
data in the middle.  Sometimes it sounded like someone dialing a 
touch-tone phone and then getting a fast ( off hook ) busy signal. 
SSB conversations mainly consisted of someone reading coded messages 
like: "Item one , bravo .. Item two , November Alpha, etc. Heard one 
phone patch to GERONIMO for current weather.

Signal strengths were very strong  like it was coming from a local 
orbiting aircraft. Changing orientation of directional antenna had 
little effect on the signal strength.  At the time of the intercept 
we gad a B-1 and a KC-135 in the pattern but don't know if the 
communications derived from either aircraft.

Is this what they call ORDWIRE?
