[MilCom] Interesting JSTARS comms tonight: HF and UHF

[AllanStern at aol.com]

Tonight (Wed)  at 7:10pm EST (Thu 0010z), JSTARS E-8C "Peach 32" came up on 
10780 kHz USB  (while also transmitting on OakGrove's 364.2) and got a phone 
patch via Cape  Radio to Robins AFB "Peachtree Ops" at DSN 241-2313.
   He asked Peachtree to advise Radar Maint that they had  an LCS 
quick-disconnect from Transmitter 3. Also, says to  inform that they are unable to link 
JTIDS, and unable to  transmit Satcom, but can hear Satcom. 
   Peach 32 will call back in an hour to see if  Maintenance has any 
suggestions on what they can try to solve the  problems.
   The mission crew on Peach 32, callsign "Stargate" has also  been up; they 
were heard in comms with Avon Bombing Range Ctrl on 292.2 and with  OakGrove 
on 364.2.
