Modes For "Huntress", "Giant Killer", etc. ?
 

Could someone please tell me what modes (AM, USB, etc) the following are.
Want to make sure I have them right.

HUNTRESS

GIANT KILLER

HF - GCS

Thanks,

Well, lets see here. Huntress and Giant Killer are milair, use AM.
However, HF-GCS is the new name for the old Global HF system, and while
they primarily use USB on HF, they also use other digital modes as well.

Huntress and GK are call signs,and as such can be heard on a variety of
modes - I've heard Huntress on AM in the UHF bands,and SSB[USB} on HF.
GK I've only ever heard on HF - Most likely because their Navy operating in
the Atlantic, and I live in Michigan.
They tend to 'go green'[encrypt] alot,but can be heard in the clear pretty
often.
GCS is all USB as far as I'm aware - It would kinda take the 'Global' out
of 'Global Communications System'if they operated in the VHF/UHF bands.
