December 18, 2010 in satcom | No comments

On 266.850 it’s not uncommon to hear Russian telephones. On most nights this can be monitored from the west coast on UHF SATCOM with the antenna pointed to the PAC region. I am only able to hear one side of the conversation.

Mexican Military Comms on HF

December 17, 2010 in hf | No comments

Mexican Air Force – A fellow from the RadioReference forums reports a clear voice Mexican military HF net on 8146 kHz. Some of the callsigns include: Gamma 10, Gamma 20, Alpha Fox Alpha, Lima India Lima and other stations. Based on traffic received, the aircraft are in the northern areas of Mexico. I decided to tune the frequency and caught some radio traffic loud and clear from my location.

Mexican Navy – The other night I happened to stumble across formal sounding traffic on 5740 and 5745 kHz in USB clear voice. This appears to be the Mexican Navy based on callsigns monitored. One of the stations identifies as Papa Oscar 152, which according to Wikipedia, is the ARM Sonora. PO-152 is a Durango class oceanic patrol vessel in the Mexican Navy with a main 4 inch turret and a helicopter landing pad and is primarily used to fight drug cartels.
