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.
