[MilCom] MIL: 8992.0 - POINT 12, 4-element groups to HFGCS

[Jeff Haverlah]

0254z  08 Feb 06

     Somethings up...

     11175.0 was active at 072200z with ANDREWS bcsting a 28-character
EAM (PZT?CD) maybe at the h+00 HFGCS restoral time (so it may have
been sent even earlier).

     6739.0 was active at 080159z with ANDREWS bcsting a 60-character
EAM (KEIGQ2).

     8992.0 was active at 0130z with ANDREWS (weak) bcsting PZT?CD
(unable to understand the 4th character) and KEIGQ2.  That PZT?CD
string has been active for over 4 hours which is unusual.

     8992.0 was active at 0222z with ANDREWS (weak) calling LUCKY HAT
with no known response (too weak to follow.)

     8992.0 was active at 0224z with POINT 12 (or sounds like; very
weak/mostly unreadable) calling MAINSAIL and raising [unknown station;
unheard here; believed to be a HFGCS station] and passed a single
4-element group (7NP6).

     8992.0 was active at 0226z with CHILL 82 (weak/often unreadable)
working weak HFGCS station (unknown; weak/often unreadable) for
current traffic and given the active preambles.

     8992.0 was active at 0237z with an unknown station (weak/often
unheard) working PUERTO RICO (weak/barely readable) and passing a
single 4-element group (5FEX).

     8992.0 was active at 0250z with POINT 12 calling MAINSAIL and
raising PUERTO RICO and passing a message of one 4-element group:
W7VO.

     No calls to SKYMASTER are heard, and all traffic is being passed
to HFGCS stations, not ABNCPs, but otherwise this is similar to
SKYMASTER exercise activity in the past.
