Back in June, I posted the query about callsign Red River.  I  received 
some responses suggesting it is the AF Global Strike Command Post at  Minot AFB 
or at Barksdale AFB, but nothing definitive. 
  On 6 July I posted my logging of Red River working a Dyess C-130  ["11175 
kHz USB 1459z: Red River working "Aegis 73" (C-130 74-1673, Dyess AFB)  for 
radio check. (06/July/2015) (Al Stern, Florida).]"
  Now I have received several emails suggesting that Red River might  be 
the Dyess AFB CP.  That is certainly an interesting plausible  possibility.

The question "Who is Red River on 11175 kHz?" has come up before. To my  
knowledge there has never been a definitive answer.  I have discussed  this 
question before in the MilRadioComms Group and in private emails with  several 
long-time radio monitors.  I am bringing it up again in the hopes  that 
some newer members might be able to shed some light.
 
Previous suppositions have been that Red River is:
1. A special mission/facility at Barksdale AFB, LA, not a CP.
2. The STRATCOM facility at Barksdale AFB, LA.
3. The 5th Bomb Wing CP or at Minot AFB, ND.
 
In the Barksdale AFB area, the Red River separates Shreveport from  Bossier 
City, and on Barksdale AFB, there is a dining hall known as Red River  
Dining Facility. 
 
In North Dakota, there is a Red River near Grand Forks.
 
Can anyone help in this discussion.
