And the point of my post Allan was to show that this change is nothing new.
One of our good monitoring friends Ron Perron actually first reported this 
change back on July 26 of this year.
That is all and nothing more.

But you have a nice monitoring day and 73 to all from the radio ranch.

Most of us are familiar with the Mainsail  callsign.  It is the Generic
callsign used by planes calling any one of the  HF-GCS ground stations.
   The point of my posting was that usually, the Ground station  IDs by his
location ("Andrews," "Offutt," "Elmendorf," "Hickam," etc) after  issuing
an EAM, but today the station issuing the EAM just said "Mainsail  out."
That is unusual.
