<New Orleans - Saturday>
 
*09:00 CST
 
364.2 - (AWACS AICC) THUMPER (E-3 Sentry, 513th ACG) working LANCER 11 (I have several on my list, not sure which one). I pick up THUMPER clear, LANCER 11 is out of my range.
 
THUMPER gave his location as 60 miles east of KILO - PAPA - OSCAR - ECHO (KPOE)
which is Ft Polk Army Airfield. Freq 141.675 was given but nothing heard on it yet.
 
THUMPER advised he would send data to LANCER for location of vehicle convoy for air/ground engagement.
