[MilCom] Use of MARS 13927.1 kHz USB Vs UHF Patch?

[Ken]

Hello Allan & the group:

Wonder why the aircraft just didn't do a phone patch via one of the AF 
Command Posts that have the
capability on UHF (and some VHF) military aero frequencies?

I don't think (per policy) that military aircraft in the US can normally use 
the military HF ground stations
to make phone patches.   Remember many years ago with Scott AFB (IL) had a 
HF ground station
in the 9 mhz range?  This seemed to work out very well for conus based phone 
patches.

BTW WUN Club newsletter March 2006 (see: 
http://www.wunclub.com/newsletter/v12/n03/roundup.html )
has got an extraction of loggings on various MARS HF freqs that might be of 
interest to milcom monitors
