RE: [HCDX] Psyops in Afghanistan on 8700 kHZ USB

[Robert Foxworth <rfoxwor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have heard more recently that the fixed frequency receivers being dropped
to refugees etc cover all three frequencies, and the leaflets shown on the
msnbc website show all three frequencies as well, but the reception of
8700 could well be by skywave from a distant base, and included in the rx
as a contingency in case - due to mountainous terrain - the MW are being
blocked.  Did I see that 864 was used in Kandahar by the Taliban
forces and 1107 was the Kabul freq? Could it be that two aircraft operate,
one for each area? There are six EC-130 in the fleet. Could one aircraft
reach both areas? This is a lot more real estate than Kosovo was to cover.
