May ALE Hits #4 (8050 & 9025 kHz)

The 8050 Connection:

8050.0 kHz USB has at least three different agencies using it, and probably more. Interoperability? Coincidence?

The 9025 Connection:

9025 kHz USB is a primary US Air Force SCOPE Command radio system autopatching frequency. It's mostly USAF, but other DoD users come up there, and at least one agency in Mexico also uses it.
