At any time there will generally be an E6 operating from East, West or Central. Many of the messages heard over HF which people call EAMs clearly aren't EAMs (luckily the buffoons in charge haven't extended their interference in other countries affairs to a nuclear level).
Again generally, there will be a message not long before the E6 takes off. One might conclude that these are perhaps Force Directional Messages. Looking at patterns one might also notice similar 30 character messages prior to significant tanker movements.
FOXTROT and SKYKING would probably be more 'interesting' (or worrying!).
Luckily the only very long messages these days can be seen to be exercise related.
I agree with part of it, while looking over info about the subject, apparently Skyking takes precedence over EAMs, which I thought was weird, unless Skyking trnamissions
are a form or EAM....
Check out the start of this video, I would have thought EAM over-rides everything else.
There seems to be confusion (at our level) of the subject....
I'm thinking Skyking is considered the platform/mission, and it gets precedence for everything (some references say a 'Skyking' message over-rides an EAM.
This is an interesting read, even though it's from Wikipedia, it does describe different things.

I love how they put a flash-overide key on field phones, obviously not recognized unless the telephone switch is programed it to recognize it.

The two Ospreys did not hang around, taking back off five minutes after arriving a bit after 1pm.
