Mention
the words "Monitoring the Military," and most radio hobbyists will
immediately think of military air shows, sporting event Military Aircraft
Flybys or a whole host of other military activities they would like to hear on
their radios. There is a big radio frequency spectrum out there to monitor, and
if you know where to listen, you can eavesdrop on some of the coolest radio
communications you will ever hear on a scanner or shortwave radio. Military
communications monitoring is the one segment of the radio hobby that has
exploded in growth in recent years and is getting more popular among the
listening community every day.
Larry
Van Horn N5FPW, spent 15 years documenting activity in the military radio
spectrum in his monthly Milcom column
in the pages of Monitoring Times
magazine. And now for the first time ever, he is publishing and making
available all those columns here at Amazon in the Kindle E-Book format.
Teak Publishing is pleased to announce the release of their latest
Kindle e-books -- the first edition of the Milcom Files –
Monitoring Times edition by Amazon
Bestselling author Larry Van Horn, N5FPW.
The
Milcom Files edition one covers the 15 years of Military Communications (Milcom)
columns that Larry wrote for the now defunct-Monitoring Times magazine
from 1998-2013.
Volume one (ASIN: B077NN7RQ5) of the Milcom Files covers columns published between 1998 to 2006. The
column was bimonthly from September 1998 to November 2002, and monthly from
January 2003 to December 2006. Volume two (ASIN: B077NQXH3C) covers columns published between 2007
to 2013. These columns were published monthly during this period.
The MT Milcom columns
documented the U.S. military conversion to narrowband LMR systems, the move
from conventional to trunk radio systems, the 225-400 MHz band plan shift,
including the new 380-400 MHz sub-band, and HF military frequencies, both
foreign and US. This two-volume set of e-books has over 327,000 plus words, and
nearly 1,000 pages of frequencies, call signs, and how-to style articles.
Even though these columns were originally published from
1998-2013, you will find a lot of material that is still valid even today. All US
military services, HF. VHF. UHF, military satellites, FAA Air Route Traffic
Control Center frequencies, base profiles, foreign military frequencies,
airshow frequencies, equipment, and a lot more are included. Each column will
be presented as it was published in MT
in this e-book except for photographs.
If
you are interested in monitoring the military, own a scanner and/or shortwave
radio, then the Milcom Files two volume set is a must reference on your radio
shack shelf.
