[MilCom] Additional US Continental HF Global Ground Stations?

[Ken]

My posted rumor is definitely wrong!!!!

HOWEVER,  I'm sure many of you have noted that there appears to be some 
additional local (lower powered) HF/ALE stations at the base/wing level that 
are being implemented throughout the US.  KCEF definitely has HF/ALE in 
"sporadic" operation.   Since most of these are operated at the Command Post 
level (with perhaps some squadron operations offices also having access), it 
will be interesting to see/hear IF the local Command Posts will be able to 
perform HF phone patches since many already have the equipment available to 
perform these phone patches on their respective UHF/VHF radios.

Also It's interesting to see postings & monitor the increased MARS stations 
involvement in performing not only morale/welfare phone patches but also 
direct operational support phone patches. So perhaps this is becoming an 
expanded MARS mission.
