O.T. From another list.
2158z 1 Feb
11175.0 was active at 0011z with CANDYMAN conducting their daily system wide new UTC day communications test count.
1540z: FEASIBLE (E6B; TETCH 52 ex TINKER 1538z+/-) called and raised GOLF CLUB (NCS HFGCS) and entered the net.
1545z: FEASIBLE called CANDYMAN.
1555z: CANDYMAN (good levels; processed-sounding audio) calls and raised FEASIBLE. Both exchanged signal reports and gone.
FEASIBLE proceeded to the Gulf for h+00/h+30 restoral window repeat broadcasts of FBNBPR at 1804z; 1830z; and 1900z (south of Longview, TX).
The immediate attempts to raise the command post end in mutual signal reports and quiet. Connectivity links.
Are there examples (logs) of similar activity from the command post prior to this fiscal year? Or, is this new to FY 2025?
FY 2025 (01 Oct 24) is very interesting as the year unfolds:
Every EAM series prefix changed 01 Oct 24. That's unusual.
A remarkable new series of EAMs appeared 02 Oct 2024. The series appears to be morphed between the highly structured very long EAM strings; and, the series of shorter (30 characters and above) that contain the FOR series of strings. The series has as few as 22 characters and a maximum of around 80 characters+/-. The series is, for lack of a better word, beautifully structured in a manner that is repeatable within each character count segment; and, often shares that structure with other character count strings. Like the longer series, it contains single character quad groups in certain character count strings, not found in the FOR series strings. Unlike every other series (at least from 01 Oct 24 through today (a relatively short period of time)) the series has not been logged from airborne assets; and, not "restored" from the NCS HFGCS (with one possible exception.) They are common (a 22 character string was just sent as this was typed - 5GFAYX).
In a manner similar to a SKYMASTER event, RED RIVER received "NEREP" message traffic in the form of AKAC 274 messages from bombers on HF.
The apparent USSTRATCOM CP is increasingly active of HF with brief connectivity comms with certain E6Bs. So far all calls and contacts have been from E6Bs that appear to performing the ABNCP mission. TACAMO PAC and LANT aircraft have yet to be logged with similar activity (it's still early in the FY). And the CP rebroadcast the 30 character EAM C6DR36 on the HFGCS on 02 Oct 24. Has this activity from the CP been logged in the recent past (recent being in the past 10 years or more?) Is this activity new to this FY?
Many of the E6B missions (TACAMO PAC in particular) appear to be conducting their activity in Due Regard (dark on ADSB mapping sites.)
And possibly other activities.
