From Ringway Manchester . . .
Been listening to shortwave ( and this “stuff” ) since 1963 – and still have never came close to figuring any of this ( the military stuff ) coded stuff out. There used to be a lot of autovon traffic heard on various frequencies – the only one that comes to mind at the moment is “Quebec” – 6.761 usb – once contact was made the parties involved would normally change freqs and continue the conversation – think of 6761 as a party line – a lot of it was an aircraft with an issue talking to “factory”/maint. people type reps – long distance trouble shooting while still keeping the plane in the air – Do I need this system or that system to continue? – and they would work through various “checklist” type routines – most of it involved work around solutions until they got back on the ground where an issue could be resolved – most of that traffic went away in the mid 90’s – my assumption is to vhf/uhf or maybe satellites . . .
