Also anybody who does know about that crisis I had a serious question: the B52s flew in "phugoid" style during cold-war standard 24/7 airborne alerts correct? Did they maintain this after being assigned targets and fly in that inefficient but harder-to-track manner or did they straighten out and go straight in? Also is it true it was about 2 hours to the end for the USSR and about 40 minutes for the US..not the 1/2 day to day we typically hear about? Man I would have aged 10 years that night :-(
@BARRIEMOREBARLOW I tried to imagine the military broadcasting "Delta . . . Foxtrot . . . Eggy" and was rewarded with uncontrollable giggling fits lasting anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. thanks a lot, bunghole.
Since military transmissions are most important due to the potential use of leathal military force against targets, or for use of equipment that is dangerous to even the operators I would be interested in how atomospheric disturbances and ananomlies are dealt with dispite the phonetic effort of the transponder. I am not a pilot, but a scientist so a digital key, or other key code with Roger acknowledgment seems most logical.
did you hear about that Emergency Action Notification deal in Springfield were a contracter was installing some EAS equitment when he used active codes to test the equitment, apparently the codes he used sent out an Emergency Action Notification over the states of Illinois, Michigan, Winsconsin, and two other states i cant remember which ones but there in the general area.
No I didn't hear about that. But I think that's something else. An EAS is about alerting and informing the public during an emergency. EAMs are military comms purely for military reception.
...most are not suitable in a public forum... you had to be there. lol. I would love to see someone post a Skyking message with a preamble tho. I've surfed around a bit and was surprised to see some of the frequencies posted online. Look around and you may find one of the lists on a listening post site. A shortwave receiver with side band and lots of patience ought to be able to pick up messages like this.

First, shit your pants. Then figure out if the EAM is real or not. If it's real, wake up your crew partner, wait for him to validate, shit his pants, then figure out if you should really turn keys on a valid, actual launch message. Once you turn keys, Crack open the supply rations, start praying to Allah, Jesus, Buddah, Jaweh, Koresh and Moroni and hope that one of the prayers saves your sorry ass because you probably have about 30 minutes of life left after key turn when an inbound msl hits.
dont you both have to be awake, because both of you have to write down the message, and then compare them. If here both the same, then there valid, then you open up the ltitle red box and see if its authentic, then if its authentic then your allowed to shit your pants
@lstn74 Wow. They had a second Cuban Missile Crisis I haven't heard about? :-) You mean after? I am not being a smartass if you were really there it was just a typo and I'd really like to hear what that was like. If you weren't then yes I am being an absolute smartass.

Is this broadcast the message to launch nuclear missiles, or is it just a standby to prepare to launch the missiles?
