7346.5 USS Fort Worth in comms with EAGAN & confirming the ship is 
conducting trials on Lake Michigan rather than the Menominee River.  May 
be active either tomorrow or Thursday on this frequency & might attempt 
comms with the USS Freedom (LCS-1) but one operator expressed concerns 
over getting a signal across the Rocky Mountains: 2100 - 2120 USB Voice 
(18/OCT/2011) (JLM)
