I found the WBFM Orderwire on 232.710. This freq. is new to me. I don't have it listed on the more then 100 freqs. I've either monitored or saw listed as having WBFM activity on it. I stumbled upon the action at 1654z. I heard Waldorf talking to an unid. sta. on Waldorf's outside speaker. The unid. sta. was transitioned at 1714z. The carrier was S-8, unusual since Waldorf is only about S 4-5 on other freqs. I've monitored from Waldorf.

Between 2112z and 2119z on 305.512usb heard conference calls along the lines of " This is Nightwatch with a communications flash test call, as your command is called report on the audibility of the conference".

I don't have a signal , it looks like I'm getting SSMA instead of FMDA, I'm trying to figure out what it is now. I think they have a patch to put up at Tech. Control. I was trying to look at a Sat loop through Belvoir but I never could see it, that's why I went over to Landstool and I could run on that loop just fine. After a couple of minutes Waldorf came back and told 01 that he could loop through Belvoir. Waldorf asked 01 what Day he was on, 01 said 28, Waldorf said that he was still on 27, he does not change til 3 - 4 in the morning. Still up at 1345z.

Waldorf & 01 At 2115z on 326.00 WBFM heard Waldorf ask 01 if they can dial all their numbers. Apparently 01 told Waldorf they can dial all except Andrews. Waldorf told 01 that DDDs 981 #s gets Andrews. Waldorf will get back to 01 with information about the problem. Waldorf = S-6. At 2200z on 326.00 Waldorf gets back to 01. Waldorf said he got in touch with Dranesville and then found out that MCI just had a cutover. Waldorf also called the Washington Tactical Switch, and Andrews Tech. Control. Waldorf called all autovon numbers and they all worked except Andrews. The 858 #s aren't switching through MCI, they're switching to the MCI Bandwidth Manager and that's as far as it gets.

At 2215z on 326.00 WBFM Waldorf told 01 that Andrews should be back up now. They found 24 trunks into MCI were not giving wink backs, so they wouldn't complete the calls. The 24 trunks have been busied out til MCI can figure out what's needs to be done with the switch. They have about 700 trunks, they should be good I just tried one. At 2247z on 326.00 Waldorf tells 01 he's loud and clear, Waldorf tells 01 he's got a good signal at 4 1/2. Waldorf now down to S-4.

At 0009z on 326.00 WBFM heard Air Force 1 tell Waldorf he'd check the circuits, Air Force 1 came back and said all circuits check fine. Since I was tuning around the WBFM carrier looking for phone calls I missed what RF configuration AF1 is using. Now a question for someone who knows more about this then I do. Why was I hearing Air Force 1 on 326.00 out of Waldorf when Bill is flying around Utah and California? Waldorf is now back up to S-6. That's all for now, maybe our friends out west can fill us in on the freqs. in use out there. 73 de OBK Time for a Dominion :>)
