1308- Hearing weak EAM broadcast from Close 61 way offshore.

Yeah really weak and not that far offshore.. A bit low but maybe having radio trouble or maybe bad weather.

Those Maine KC-135's coming back North from working Eglin the last few days.
They were A/A southbound Monday 238.200 but not saying much today.
Seems both shut off their mode s.
