8993 - Micronesia...
11 Nov 09:10 UTC 8993 kHz USB - "Pohnpei Seventy-Three, this is Micronesia,
over". The Pohnpei station replied that reception was difficult. (Both stations were easily audible into Auckland, and the Micronesia station was very loud.) Micronesia recommended a channel change, to "channel 13". A few minutes later, he was back calling "Pohnpei 73" again. But no luck this time, no response from Pohnpei. Then, at 09:33 UTC, "Micronesia" tries "73" again. No luck. So he tries "72, 72, this is Micronesia for radio check, over". 72 responds, saying its difficult to receive "Micronesia". "Micronesia" says "change to channel seventy-one, over". Anybody heard this before? One of my radios was parked on 8992, which needs no explanation, when I heard this. These guys were pretty loose with their radio jargon and discipline. Didn't sound like LDOC/AOC. Mark. Auckland New Zealand. |

8992 is part of the US Air Force Global HF System.
I had one radio sitting on that frequency when I got some major QRM. Once tuned, it was 8993, with the Micronesia traffic mentioned. Mark. Auckland, New Zealand.
