[MilCom] MIL: 8992.0 - COTTER PIN and ANDREWS for upcoming 4-tone HF data

[Jeff Haverlah]

1639z  06 Feb 06

     8992.0 was active at 1609z with ANDREWS (weak/barely readable)
calling COTTER PIN a number of times.  At 1619z ANDREWS (weak/often
unreadable) worked COTTER PIN (unlike earlier very weak/"watery" and
unreadable) for some chatter.  ANDREWS wished him a good day and
standing by.  At 1625z ANDREWS (weak/unreadable) again worked COTTER
PIN (weak/unreadable) in lengthy chatter.  COTTER PIN was apparently
trying to set up an HF data session at __30zulu (maybe 1830z) with
ANDREWS and requested 4-tone.  By 1629z ANDREWS (weak/often
unreadable) was confirming 4-tone async, then "standing by in
listening watch" and out.  At 1631z ANDREWS (now weak/readable) called
and raised COTTER PIN (weak/mostly unreadable) and advised he would be
using 4-tone sync.  COTTER PIN confirmed and out.  No HF data
frequency heard.
