Thanks to our old friend Jack Metcalfe in KY for this HF Mil/Gov Field Report.
10168.0 USCG cutters KIMBALL & MIDGETT running clear voice & "cipher" tests on this Rohde & Schwarz test frequency. Heard on this frequency a couple of weeks ago running the same tests: 1444 UTC in USB voice, ALE & ANDVT (18/JUNE/2018) (JLM)
9120.0 US Military stations NIGHTHAWK 12
