Passbook is one of the P-3 tactical callsigns, Ed; like Cardfile and  Quartet 
and some others on the east coast (the West coast has some other P-3  
tactical callsigns). Passbook is not associated with any particular  base or 
squadron. I am able to hear the P-3s on both HF and UHF sometimes and  will hear them 
ID by their acft callsign in addition to their tactical callsign,  but that 
was not the case today with PASSBOOK 65.  In the past tho, I have  heard the 
callsign used by both Jax birds and Brunswick birds. 
 
Today PASSBOOK started out passing his Spare Group messages to Fiddle  TSC at 
NAS Jax and then began to pass them to Goldenhawk TSC at NAS  Brunswick when 
Fiddle did not respond.
