[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 - 9UD passing multiple ESTEEM HIGHLY ALPHA's

[Jeff Haverlah]

2155z  08 Mar 06

     11175./0 was active at 2043z with 9UD (mostly unheard here)
working PUERTO RICO (weak/barely readable) with a phone patch to
[missed it], passing ESTEEM HIGHLY ALPHA and receiving TOR from the
ground party (too weak to follow - 0820??) and gone.  At 2050z 9UD
(very weak/unreadable) called and raised PUERTO RICO for a phone patch
but interrupted for higher precedence traffic.

     11175.0 was active at 2052z with ANDREWS (weak/readable) bcsting
a 28-character EAM (Q3XDKG).  The broadcast was much stronger on
13200.0, with the 13200.0 audio containing crosstalk of an automated
weather broadcast/forecast.  The automated weather ended with ANDREWS
keyed down the transmitters.

     11175.0 was active at 2055z with PUERTO RICO (weak/readable)
calling and raising 9UD (weak/often unreadable) and asking if he still
wanted the phone patch.  Answer was yes and PUERTO RICO brought up the
ground party (maybe id'ing as [garbled] ONE), and the ground party
acknowledged an ESTEEM HIGHLY ALPHA with a TOR of 082057 Zulu and
patch terminated.

     11175.0 was active at 2059z with 9UD calling and raising PUERTO
RICO for another phone patch (DSN 694 number) with the ground party
again acknowledging an ESTEEM HIGHLY ALPHA with a TOR or 082101.  The
patch was terminated and freq went quiet.

     11175.0 was active at 2127z with an unknown player (weak/barely
readable; unable to id) bcsting a 28-character EAM (Q3PJJT) and
simulcasting same on at least 8992.0 (weak/barely readable) with
nothing heard here on 4724.0 and 15016.0.  ANDREWS broadcast the
string at 2131z on the HFGCS.
