From the Book Cover
THE ONLY UP-TO-DATE MILITARY FREQUENCY GUIDE
"The Comprehensive Guide to Military Monitoring" is the
most up-to-date military monitoring book in existence. This new book
fully covers all military communication services and military bases
including the latest base closings and present active bases. While
some bases and military installations are being reduced by the defense
department, many military bases have increased in activity and will
become more important in the coming years.
Many bases and services are being utilized for new military uses and
are becoming more active in classified projects and uses. These changes
in the military are covered in detail. Full information on military
bases with pictorial diagrams and complete frequency lists are included
which cover VHF and UHF communications frequencies used by all services.
The author, Steve Douglass, is a free-lance writer living in Amarillo,
Texas. Steve owns and operates a professional monitoring service for
national news media called the Reporters Edge.
Douglass garnered national attention when an article about his monitoring
expertise appeared in the Wall Street Journal. Steve
has appeared on CBS News shows, the Today program, 20/20, Ed Bradley's
"Street Stories," and other national programs.
Editors and publishers remark, "The amount of inside military information
that Douglass acquires through his purely legal monitoring and reporting
astounds readers and the Pentagon alike!" Popular Science
magazine now carries his informative features.
The Comprehensive Guide to Military Monitoring is extensive.
The guide covers receiving equipment, antennas, and includes full
reviews of all phases of military monitoring.
Another "hot" section is Steve's Top 100 Military Shortwave Frequencies
plus a full VHF/UHF military frequency section for all services from
30 MHz to 300 MHz with frequencies, services and descriptions of use.
Air Combat Command/Strategic Command "Mainsail" frequency plans are
covered in detail - 3.00 MHz to 23.300 MHz for all services. Many
Navy convoy voice call signs are listed, all up-to-date and active.
The major operational military bases are shown in over 75 pages containing
a full description of each base, base profile, location, flight operations
frequencies, ground operations frequencies, and a full graphic layout
of the base showing runways, buildings and other important infommation.
A full 8 1/2" X 11" page is devoted to each major military base with
many details never before published in any military monitoring book.
Minor bases are also listed with complete operating frequencies.
This book is filled to the brim with feature after feature covering
semi-classified materials. The large section on military call signs
and codes alone make this book an indispensable resource for the beginner
and an absolute necessity for the seasoned military monitor's library.
This is a totally different work, like no other book you have ever
seen! Full of Black Projects material!
