      It's probably an E-6B. Whenever these HF conference calls (which are 
not heard from CONUS players by CONUS listeners; they use EAM strings not 
heard from CONUS ground stations and players) are reported by UK monitors 
there are also usually reports of E6 ground sightings by UK spotters. Any 
E6s noted in the UK recently?
