Maybe a noop question....)
I know you need be more patient when listening to HF, then say VHF and UHF. But what are the most active HF freqs used by USAF. What HF freqs are a must to listen to?

Re: most active HF freqs
11175.0 for sure, you might want to add: 04724.0 06712.0 06739.0 08992.0 13200.0 15016.0 all being part off HFGCS (HF Global communications Network)
Although I think Satcom is more used nowadays
06761.0 is common A/A mostly used when receiver is trying to contact their tanker.
You might also want to consider MWARA (Major World AirRoutes) used for oceanic crossings.
02899.0 05598.0 05616.0 06622.0 08864.0 08906.0 08891.0 13306.0 / there are more but USAF traffic can be heard in my opinion on mentioned Freqs.
Pretty active is also MARS : 13927.0
USCG (US Coast Guard) can often be heard on : 05696.0 08983.0

Check my reply earlier in this topicI am looking for HF freqency's where you can hear the REACH flights route Europe-USA visa versa.
04675.0 was recently in use by DRAGON (U-2) out of Fairford, so you can include that one alsoYou might also want to consider MWARA (Major World AirRoutes) used for oceanic crossings.

EDIT : Currently (1420z) a B-1 is working 05616.0 (RAMA41, credit ReachHunters)
