The guy who owns the stations is making a world=wide network.  This is the Control Location in 745 AR-53
Rosston, Arkansas.

Hello Dave,

First, let me refer you to a YouTube video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrJSgFhS-ac

I was STUNNED, so I went to the FCC ULS system.  There I found WNU's license as a Coastal Group station is still ACTIVE until August of 2033!  The licensee is now:

GLOBAL HFNET LLC
777 S. Flagler Dr., Suite 602 East
West Palm Beach, FL 33401
ATTN Joseph Jacobs, Pres.

It lists the Control Point as:

1745 Highway 53 NEVADA
Rosston, AR

Here's where it gets "creepy."

Go to Google Maps and put in the Control Point address.  Look at the sign at the side of the road.  It says "WLO Radio."

Here's what I think.  The U.S. Government (C.I.A. maybe) bought those unused radio facilities and licenses.  They are operating clandistine comms using those systems.

What do you think?  I am still investigating, I'll let you know if I have any ideas.  I MIGHT just send them a resume, just to see if there is any response.  I doubt it.

I find it odd and someone unbelievable that someone could afford all of this infrastructure to provide HF comms to business and government entities on a contingency basis.  How are they making money?

The company received a waiver for these stations to operate Part 80 stations for both marine and land mobile use.


I wonder if it's part of this trend to do financial trades over HF.

Jeremy probably hit the nail on the head.  They could maintain a spare set of digital channels for the purpose.
