1642- Game Time on 311.0 broadcasting 30-character EAMs (missed first preamble), LXM6X7 & LXXFCV (repeat). Twirl 98 south of Richmond at this time.
I have been monitoring military air for only a few months. I heard "Game Time" here in Campbell County, TN at 1740. It caught my attention because I have never heard them broadcasting letters and numbers and it's also the first time I have heard a transmission on 311.0. I will need to research "EAMs" because I have no idea what they are. When I first heard it, it reminded me of the old numbers stations on shortwave. And TWIRL98 was northeast of me, in Kentucky heading west.

TACAMO broadcast on 323.8. I lost track on everything he said I’m sure you can understand :ROFLMAO:
Prob POLLY-97 #162783 launched out of Norfolk NAS heading offshore.
TWIRL-98 #162784 headed West had long day. Saw this one launch from Bangor this morning and

EDDIE 98 and EDDIE 99 both departed KLCK at 0005Z and 0057Z, respectively. Both had transponders turned off. Quite unusual for their normal operations. No traffic on the maintenance net, either.

Now at 0119Z, EDDIE 99 is in contact with RICK CONTROL on 238.800, preparing to hold and will relay to EDDIE 98.

Couldn't find the clearance for EDDIE 98, but EDDIE 99 got a round robin clearance via POMCT > OWEBO > HLG > JST > PENSY. Must be an exercise of some sort, but still odd not to hear any comms.
Silent drill? A KC-135 #62-3576 IL ANG off Scott AFB Eastbound towards Nantuckett at FL270
