Interesting Comms on 11175 kHz this Sunday

As I posted on the Milcom and UDXF newsgroups this morning I have heard some interesting comms on 11175 kHz HF-GCS primary (digital burst/ALE/Arabic language speakers).

And for my old friend Jeff Haverlah in Texas at 1545 UTC caught a SkyKing message (heard in the US and Europe) by NCS Offutt, followed by an EAM 28 characters (WZ5LCZ) broadcast by Andrews. At 1549 Offutt broadcast another 28 character EAM (WZLOAS). At 1607 Offutt broadcast another EAM, 22 characters (WZQ34I). So we have a worldwide Skyking message, followed by two 28c/one 22c EAM. Sound familiar Jeff.

Interesting note, after the 22c EAM, McClellan broadcasted all frequency call for Reach 295 several times. Nothing heard on the Euro receiver other than King 88 working Croughton for pp traffic.

At 1734, Offutt passed a 28 character EAM (WZUQUP).
At 1738, Lajes passed an EAM restoral message for the WZUQUP above.
At 1746, McClellan was up making an all frequency call for Reach 599.
At 1748, McClellan passed a six character EAM (YFZ5ME) for High Racks.
At 1753, McClellan passed a six character EAM (YFHNTF) for High Racks.

Remember you can learn more about EAM and Skyking messages on the MT website at http://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/eam.html from the dean of EAM monitors, Jeff Haverlah.
