All jokes aside, it is interesting to note that ATC were talking to
Royal Dutch Airlines on that frequency. I guess aircrafts have VHF as
well as HF radios onboard.

Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) flies to Africa, they also have an extensive cargo fleet.



Steve is right about 11300 kHz USB.

What frequency and time was that?

Off the top of my head I think Nairobi (along with others) might be on
11300 USB. Audible here in the evenings.

HF Air Traffic can be hear on the following frequencies in
my ares (Maryland):

3494 khz. 6640 khz. 8933 khz. 11342 khz. 13330 khz. 17925 khz.


Correct me if I'm wrong but I think these are
LDOC (long distance operation coordination ?)

Back in pre-ssb days, a radiotelegrapher was part of an international flight
crew.

I believe they still give position reports. They may use "company" hf
frequencies, too.
