Around 1000hrs Eastern / 1400 UTC I was scanning the 7 mhz band and came across traffic on 7.615 MHZ USB, with callsigns that sounded like Rattlesnake, Fastrunner (41 and 42) Redfire, Mockingbird, AspenGold also mention moving to frequency GLD.
Any ideas?

7.615 is CAP [Civil Air Patrol] but might you have heard 7.618 as many of your callsigns are from the Rocky Mountain Region, 7.615 is usually NRQ
GLD would have been 7.630 for the Great Lakes Region

Thanks and very interesting.
7mhz on the east coast at 1400Z rarely ever makes it out of the SE part of the US. So if this was the case, then I am pleasantly surprised with what a 300 FT square loop at 20 ft above the ground will hear!
