1557z 24 Oct 25

11175.0 was active at 1444z with MAN FISH (HFGCS) broadcasting the 30 character EAM ARX2SV. It appears to be the first non-FOR 30 character AR EAM broadcast since the start of the exercise. A surge followed:

At 1456/58z SINGE 17; DOKO 40; SIEVE 44 and HEROD 40 launched with in a minute or so of each other from OFFUTT (SINGE and SIEVE); PAX RIVER (DOKO 40), and TRAVIS (HEROD 40.) DOKO 40 (believed to be SKILLFUL) is currently over the Atlantic (TACAMO LANT). HEROD 40 is currently over northern Nevada headed southwest); and, the two E6s out of OFFUTT are over the upper midwest.

At 1544z SKILLFUL worked a callsign (name ##) and readback a longish message of 3-element groups (suspected AKAC 274 message but he didn't call it anything in his readback) with a datetime group of 241510.

And, the HFGCS in CONUS has become very active with brief messages passed to RED RIVER. At 1559z a station iding as maybe 28862 broadcast a 45 character EAM-sounding WBUMOA (twice as with an EAM) and describing it as "a message of 15 groups. WBUMOA is being sent as part of longish AKAC 274 messages of 13 groups on 8992.0 and 11175.0.

11175.0 was active at 1622z with MAN FISH broadcasting C6DSLE.

The exercise has entered its dense stage for lack of a better phrase.

There was a RCH-832 C-17 #00-0172 NC ANG 154th AW inbound from Ramstein to Andrews 2135z/1735 local.
Had trouble hearing it but did req Customs and a few other things I couldn't make out.
Normally patients overseas go to Landstuhl hospital near Ramstein before Andrews.
Seems NC C-17's getting more Ramstein evac flights these days.This tail is a regular now.

2055 local RCH-123 C-130J #14-5788 19AW inbound Dover from McChord AFB.. Long hike.. maybe spare engine or parts perhaps?
