Hi
I decided to put here some non-usual comms heard on HF-GCS frequencies:
Usually messages end with "Mainsail out", in this Foxtrot is identified by Lajes station timestamp: 20140107T104712 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/104712-1
Sometimes, especially during long non active periods one can hear test count timestamp: 20140107T120401 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/120401-1
Regular messages are 30 characters long, this one is 99 characters long... timestamp: 20140108T161824 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/161824-1
...and this one is 178 characters long! (recording is glitchy) timestamp: 20140109T125701 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/125701-1
Some messages have addressee, this is for "Region Alpha" and "Region Bravo". Additionally, operator makes a mistake and corrects it "correction item 09" timestamp: 20140106T065544 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/065544-1
In this one operator wants listeners to disregard his previous message: timestamp: 20140109T073231 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/disregard
And this guy works as a radio announcer in civilian life timestamp: 20140111T062900 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/062900-1
HF-GCS frequencies are normally used for air to ground communication, not necessarily in English (this one is French) timestamp: 20140110T081310 https%3A//soundcloud.com/vonansbach/081310-1
That is all for now, hope it was interesting. You can listen to HF-GCS on 8992 and 11175 kHz (24h/day main frequencies), 13200 and 15016 kHz (zulu days), 4724 and 6739 kHz (zulu nights)

Keep in mind most of the folks you hear sending these EAM type transmission, from the ground stations (not talking about from the aircraft), are junior enlisted in the US Military. Typically E4 and below, E5's and above are more typically in a supervisory roll, and would only be on the radio when they can't find a junior to do it An E4 has normally been in the military for less than 5 years, and possibly as little as one (under most circumstances someone who has not risen above E4 is not allowed to re-enlist after his/her 8th year of service). The average age of enlistment in the US Military is 19, so most of the folks you hear are 23 years old or younger. Flight crew, even enlisted crew, might run a little older and more senior on average. So with that in mind, these are your average 25 year old and younger people, sometimes a lot younger, which accounts for the open mic antics that can sometimes be heard. A local young man I watched grow up, and is now 19 (and an E3), is one of the Andrews (Mainsail) voices you hear today. Z!
