I was listening to 9032 until an hour ago or so (it's now 05:15 UTC

Didn't hear anything at all here except for the ICE flight I

mentioned.

I can hear RAF on 9031 on the half-hour with weather information. The
station, I believe, is in Upavon, England.


Mark, RAF ARCHITECT from Ascension Island is probably what you heard

there.

I think ARCHITECT is actually out of the UK at H+00 and H+30. HAVEN would

be
via Ascension at H+45.

That sked goes way back to the days when they used 9032 vs. 9031.

The above link shows the same on 9031.


Isn't it all remoted now? Probability of Mark hearing Ascension more likely
than Britain in any case. Ascension is a powerful station in ALE and voice,
it reaches North America stronger than British mainland most nights. I hear
ARCHITECT making flight-following calls to a/c on 9031, and was told that is
from Ascension. I haven't caught the VOLMET or other scheduled traffic
there.
