Monitoring The Iraq War As the world waits and watches Iraq, if you've got a
shortwave receiver with sideband mode (USB and LSB) you can hear certain
military communications related to the conflict including many long-distance
GHFS (Global HF System) stations including Emergency Action Messages (EAMs) and
Skyking messages which are high-priority messages for air and ground stations.
Frequencies to monitor (in the USB mode) include: 4709, 4724, 6712, 6739, 8992,
11175, 11271, 15038 (11175 is a very active frequency most of the time)
Shortwave broadcasts from the Middle East that you can hear with a reasonable
antenna include the following. Note that UTC (Universal Time) is 5 hours ahead
of EST. Note that because the changing situation in the area these times and
