Morning Stargazer and all.

15016.0 kHz is a USAF HF-GCS Primary frequency. You can learn more about 
this system at 
http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2006/05/joint-chiefs-of-staff-hf-gcs-network.html

The transmission you heard was probably an EAM (Emergency Action Message). 
These messages and Skyking messages are commonly heard worldwide on the 
HF-GCS network. You can learn more about these messages at the links below.

I have also just posted a brand new page on the Milcom bog that includes 
Jeff Haverlah's original "What is an EAM?" and my Dec 2009 MT Milcom column 
that updated it to new Milcom Blog page at 
http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/p/what-is-emergency-action-message-or-eam.html.

Now you have everything you need to understand and hear EAMs and Skyking 
messages on the USAF HF-GCS system.
