I have receive a monitor report via email that the new Grand Forks HF-GCS was monitored yesterday working Akeela 61 and Shark 10 on 8992.0 and 11175.0 kHz using the callword "Dakota."As first reported here on the Milcom Monitoring Post on November 21, 2008, (see
http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2008/11/breaking-news-grand-forks-afb-to-get-hf.html) Grand Forks has assumed the role of alternate control station in the Joint Chief's of Staff sponsored HF-GCS network.
You can read more about the HF-GCS network including new detailed frequencies and more in the April issue of Monitoring Times magazine in my monthly Milcom column.
Thanks Karl for passing that intercept along.
