[HCDX] Psyops in Afghanistan on 8700 kHZ USB

[Robert Foxworth <rfoxwor1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen reports of the 8700 programming being heard, which imply
that this signal is coming from the Solo aircraft. This does not make a
lot of sense to me, as who on the ground there would be able to get
this signal? I suggest the possibility that the programming is being
produced stateside, sat-fed to a base in the region (Incirlik would be
one plausible possibility, or at-sea) and xmitted FROM the base on
8700 to be rcvd by the aircraft and then re-xmitted FROM the aircraft
on 864 and 1107 MW, which ARE available to refugees etc. This
would insure the program feed is up-to-date with political events, and
frees the aircraft crew from having to originate programming. To
examine this idea further would require hearing a good-enough
signal on MW to examine the audio quality for artifices of SSB-type
modulation characteristics, which I suppose is out of reach for most
of us. Also some one in the ME area examining 8700 itself for an
indication of being local-like.  Discussion?  - Bob Foxworth.
