Naval Strike Group 6230
 

Mega activity as of 1604 on 6230 USB, some US Navy strike group
training excercise going on. It's mostly phonetic callsigns and
"crypto" language but you can still get a general idea of what is going
on.

4 Aircraft "Magnum 451, 440,454,453" went airborne according to the
radio ops.

Other callsigns (ships and subs?) Foxtrot Echo Five, Lima, Charlie,
Delta, Charlie echo five, november tango romeo, echo fox, Oscar,
Foxtrot.. and others.

Coming in good here at 1614, chances are they are operating on other frequencies
as well, as you probably know.

Yup, I heard them talking about other freqs but so far I've only been
monitoring the 6230 frequency because of the excellent signals..
signals were booming better in the early morning 1000-1200 UTC

Maybe some milair monitor can help us figure out the callsigns and what
ships, subs, and aircraft they belong too.

I wonder if it's related to the recent Mil Net postings on WUN?

I read on Yahoo! news about a naval excercise with navy seals team and
how it related to mysterious dolphin beachings near Key West Florida,
maybe this is the same excercise?

Well, I did see something about some sub exercises that supposedly attributed to
the beaching of the dolphins.

Dolphins, whales etc., have been beaching themselves for unknown reasons before
the advent of sonar, etc.

But,Do you think it is wise to give out information like that on the
internet? I am not so sure it is.

Remember,Whoaraldo Rivera giving out that "news" in the sand on tv news
not too far back?
cuhulin

I read about those Dolphins beaching too.I don't know why they beached
though.

The activity is continuing at 16:52. Coming in quite well here on the
East Coast.

There is a site out there somewhere that put up details of whatever exercise was
currently going on, but I can't seem to find it.

Expect to hear it all day/all night, sometimes there is periods of
quiet but other times it busy.. I first heard it while tuning early
morning yesterday.

I read an article on Yahoo! about a naval excercise with Navy SEALS and
how it related to some strange dolphin beachings off of Key West
Florida, I am thinking the excercise is taking place in the north
atlantic however due to the good signals.

I don't really give a crap, what law says I can't?

Yeah, I'd like to see that law myself. It's not like anyone is giving out any
sensitive material, and the transmissions are easily heard by anyone with the
proper equipment. Hobbyists, spooks, whackos and 'tards.

Who gives a crap, that war was worthless anyway, maybe I should stop

Yup, they are on free airwaves in the clear.. plus they use crypto talk
anyway.

Unfortuntely this hobby attracts whackos and tards.

I like listening to this kind of stuff because it reminds me of sitting up in CIC
on the ship(s) I was on standing watch on the air search radar and listening to
all the traffic on the radios.

Whackos and 'tards comprise a small percentage of the population. You
will find a few of them anywhere you go these days since we have had the
government interfering with the survival of the fittest.

Might be the the same bunch that's been operating what sounds like a
surface warfare net on 4741.5 for the past day or two at local night
(East Coast US), as reported on the WUN reflector. From the sound of
things, you may have found the air defense net. There's probably yet
another voice net somewhere coordinating the LINK-11 (TADIL-A)
operation as well.

If you happen to find it let us know, or post it on WUN.

I guess I didn't realize it is public information.I was thinking of that

stupid mouth off on Worldwide tv.

Probe into possible link to Dolphin beaching. www.newshub.com The
article links to CNN Tech.

I heard one guy mention "ASW ex" Which is probably an Anti Sub Warfare
practice operation. This was on 6230.

I thought the #Monitor group closed up shop and moved to #Wun? I
stopped going after a very childish incident caused a "Split" to two
rooms... very childish.. I have very little time for that kind of
nonsense.

BTW thx for the 4741.5 frequency, I guess this is where the guys on
6230 hang out during the night?

And how regular are these USB nets? I only run into them once a year or
so during operations.

Regardless, it is VERY interesting listening.

I took a listen down there this morning for a short time around 1330 but didn't
hear anything, could have just been propagation, so I'll try again this evening.

And how regular are these USB nets? I only run into them once a year or

Seems to happen a few times a year, if and when someone locates them.
I still can't find that site I used to have that would announce the exercises,
and tell what they were about. Maybe they dropped it?

6230 frequency is active at the moment, I've been recording on video
tape for my sound byte collection.. 10 hrs I got atleast .

I would try the 4741 freq but I work overnights so I cannot.

Last year at www.boingboing.net I saw an article about somebody at
NASA developed some sort of new small bent wire antenna.

Basically, there was a guy in #monitor who either wouldn't or couldn't
stop subjecting other users in the channel to various types of
ridicule and abuse, so he was booted off the channel. He and some of
his friends decided to go start their own channel where they could be
free to hurl whatever insults they wanted at people. As far as I know,
they're still there. The rest of us are in #monitor and the #monitor
channel on zIRC is linked to the original #monitor on IRCnet as well
as to #monitor on DalNET and StarChat.

Where you are naturally welcome to come join us anytime. :-)

My guess would be the other way around - lower freqs at local night
(where the stations in the net are) since the MUF is generally lower
during the hours of local darkness. During local daylight, when the
sun gets to cooking the layers in the atmosphere, the D-Layer starts
absorbing things while the higher frequencies propagate stuff.

And how regular are these USB nets? I only run into them once a year or
so during operations.

Lately, it's seemed like one or two of these a month has been
reported. By that, I mean one or two times a month a group of surface
ships is found to be running one or more nets like this.

In January we had a carrier battle group running three nets at the
same time, on different freqs - a surface warfare control net, an air
defense net, and a LINK-11 coordination net...all of which resulted
from somone in #monitor reporting that they'd heard the LINK-11 data
signal. I went looking for the voice coordination net to go with it,
and found it in an hour or so, then another guy read about it on the
WUN list and found the air defense net, and so on.

Regardless, it is VERY interesting listening.

If you're into UTE monitoring (as I am), heck, yes. Nothing beats
realtime military tactical comms!

Have now listened to 6230 for long enough to draw the following
conclusions:

1. The net is being relayed somehow - either on landline or through
other means. This is because station DELTA asked for a repeat of a
transmission from ECHO FOXTROT (the apparent net control) by saying,
"I have a ten-second delay" and also, I have heard feedback noises and
rushing sounds characteristic of technical problems often evident with
such relays (think 8971.0 and the whales back in 1999 or so)

2. This sounds like a LINK-11 voice coordination net to me...multiple
references to the "gator playground", or just "the playground" or "the
gator" (those are dead giveaways), also "SIX CHARLIE BRAVO will assume
the callsign and parameters of HOTEL", and ECHO FOXTROT asking ALPHA
if she had a "good picture".

3. EF is the apparent NCS with A, D, M, L also in the net. Note single
letter callsigns. The other callsigns being heard (like SIX CHARLIE
BRAVO) are calls being used by stations before they have a PU in the
gator, then they assume a single-letter callsign.
