2020z  20 Mar 06

     8992.0 was active at 181355z with ANDREWS bcsting a 28-character
EAM (ZRC5XN) followed at 181402z with another 28-character EAM
(ZRTCIH), and again at 181422z with another 28-character EAM (ZRD63K).
 At 1450z ANDREWS bcst a 6 (4YVNVT)/6 (4YHPER)/20 (4YJUN4)/28 (ZRPAA4)
over a 12 minute period.

     8992.0 was active at 181508z with FOLK SONG (weak/barely
readable) calling MAINSAIL, finally raising LAJES (unheard here) at
181513z but faded before comm was completed.

     8992.0 was active at 182055z with FOLK SONG (good/fair) calling
and raising LAJES (very weak/unreadable here)  for a phone patch (too
weak to understand) for some orderwire coordination (requesting 7C
RF17 in station ___MORE (maybe SOPHOMORE or ? - GEP alias; "we are
burning now") but patch was weak and LAJES requested they move to
11175.0.

     11175.0 was active at 182102z with FOLK SONG (good) calling and
raising LAJES (unheard here; weak/barely readable to FOLK SONG) and
qrm'ing other stations on freq so LAJES moved him to 13200.0.

     13200.0 was active at 182103z with FOLK SONG (weak/unreadable)
working LAJES (weak/often unreadable) for a phone patch (apparent
orderwire coordination.)

     8776.0 was active at 182143z with FOLK SONG saying "This is FOLK
SONG" and quiet.  Good levels here.  FOLK SONG keyed the freq (no
voice audio) at 182148z (multiple times) and maybe again at 182222z
and quiet.  No EAM activity noted.
