Radio scanning came up in the chat room tonight, and I volunteered to post a few scanning resources.

This is the Global High Frequency System. Most military planes have some HF (short-wave) capability. This is the USAF list, and there are plenty of other freqs that the USAF uses. Go to the root directory
http://ute-monitor.org to get more freqs. This group runs a chat room (#monitor).

Satellite:
SATCOM is nearly all encrypted. Once in a while the freqs are in the clear (mostly training). The group that hunts MIAs in Vietnam can be heard on SATCOM. You can spot the helical antennas on some AFBs, but they are not very big so you need a good SGT (self guided tour) to find them.

The NTIA redbook has lots of information in it, but you have to dig, and it is huge.

The FCC has had a for-fee search engine in beta for years. At the rate they are going, it will be beta forever, and hopefully free.
