1855 HF 8992/11175/15016 TIGHTEND? for 3WLBQZ multi character message... repeating every few minutes or so.
1905 New voice 8992 22 character message for 3WOVLG.. HF sure busy tonight. Strong 20 over dB prob from Andrews.

Mark,
I work in UTC
The message at 22:54 wasn't 'for' 3WLBQZ and it wasn't repeating every few minutes. That specific one was repeated once as part of a multi repeat starting at 23:12
The 23:04 message was a repeat of one two minutes earlier and in each case 30 characters not 22. It was also included in teh multi message at 23:12

0855- Allow 76 (E-6B # 163920 VQ-4 Det) off PAX heading east. Working simultaneously on 311.0 & 323.8. " Advisory, this is Lost Dime (TACAMO) on 8992." After couple of attempts to contact Advisory (HF-GCS) tell Advisory, " My station request to enter the net at this time" He then goes through the normal authentication procedures for entering the net. The same as heard on HF freqs. First time I've heard this on UHF freqs. He must not know that he's xmitting on all 3 freqs at the same time. As he signs off he's chuckling, so maybe someone pointed that out. Signs out with " My station requires no additional assistance at this time" As this is going on, he's heading northeast up along the NJ coast, just south of Atlantic City.

At 0917 broadcasts 30 character EAM (3WL7AC) on both 311.0 & 323.8.

Great shot. Was wondering if your "all seeing" camera had snagged him as he passed over you. He's out over the Atlantic now off NJ, probably trailing his wire.

10:03 local SAM-565 on HF 8992 calling any station.. No joy so far.

Allow 76/Lost Dime has been operating in the area of AR77, about 100m miles off the NJ coast, all morning

I think his accent caused a bit of confusion.....

Thanks - it was the two spotting cameras on the front of my face and then a 35 mm camera with telephoto. Saw him tracking up headed my direction and fortunately the cloud cover had moved far enough east to capture the shots.
