Fighters were nil heard except for very brief moments .... GOLIATH was very strong.  Action included 2 v 3 and 1 v 4.

At 1655Z GOLIATH contacted MAPLE OPS on 293.700 [initially called on wrong freq 138.300] to confirm activity with JUNGLE 1 & 2 and another callsign I couldn't understand .... I did not monitor this activity.

Nice to have AWACS in the area again.
