"This is Andrews Owl" is the callsign of a clandestine random number station in English that can be heard on 13200 KHz(usb) at various times. This is believed to be part operation of the HF-GCS worldwide network of 15 high-power HF stations that provide air/ground HF command and control radio communications between ground agencies and US military aircraft and ships. The HF-GCS is not dedicated to any service or command, but supports all DoD authorized users on a traffic precedence/priority basis. Therefore verification is chancy if not at all.

Thanks. It is yet to be verified. I did listen to similar loggings of different sources, but they are not exactly the same. This might what makes listening intriguing.
Thanks. But to my best knowledge Andrews Airforce Base in the United States no longer carries any bombardment mission. My nearest US Airforce Base that does carry B52 is at Andersen Airforce Base in Guam. My logging was on 13200 KHz ( USB ) and it may well be some sort of air command as you suggested.
I have a similar recording on my channel, towards the end, it does say "Andrews out" because it's an emergency action message. An EAM wouldn't be on 2.4GHz+, that's microwave, you'd need something that can bounce off the ionosphere ;)
Thanks! It would be nice to hear your recording. I would agree that either "Andrews Out" or "Andrews Owl" has to be a single flow chunk of speech, but air-borne & bound EAM doesn't really work on any carrier to be bounced off the ionosphere for a fact.
Semantically this would make sensen if it was taken for a launch message. But the truth was the same message was repeated several times both by a male and a female. Also launch msg typically goes with a word "clear!".
Hard to say, as its source was unidenfied. Somebody else might have a better idea though. Could be Some sort of operation. But did it sound like a ( military ) operation in action? We may guess. Thanks!
