US Shortwave Phone Patches: Military Communications Explained

While listening to the US military frequencies, you might hear airplanes radio in to an HFGCS ground station to request a "phone patch", and you might hear abbrevations such as "DSN", what sound like phone numbers, and weather requests and other apparently non-normal traffic on these frequencies.

This video is a brief walkthrough for you to understand what is going on during these conversations, and have a better idea what's going on. Thanks very much to this channel's recent sponsors for making today's video possible.
