     11175.0 was active at 0048z and 0049z with TOE HOLD broadcasting their
new UTC day communications test count.

     8992.0 was active at 0232z with RESURGENT (NCS HFGCS) broadcasting the
30 character EAM HJWNNR. No further message traffic until 2148z.

     8992.0 was active at 1403z with ATTACHED (presumed E6B; no visible E6
on mapping sites) calling SCORPION (?). MAINSAIL responds. ATTACHED calls
him SCORPION and requests to enter the net. It becomes confusing. SNOW
PATCH was used as an ID briefly. They may have been simulcasting on another
frequency. By 1414z ATTACHED was working RESURGENT and completed the
challenge process. At all times ATTACHED called MAINSAIL and RESURGENT
"SCORPION."

     11175.0 was active at 1431z with SPACE AGE (presumed E6; nothing
visible) calling to STRAKE (sounds like; or maybe STRIKE; either way a
5-character callword?) and passes his message traffic of 3 groups: YSO UXD
YRQ.

     8992.0 was active at 1535z with MEREDITH (presumed E6B; nothing
visible) calling REARRANGE with no known response.

     11175.00 was active at 1535z with MEREDITH calling REARRANGE and
passing (apparently in the blind) his message traffic of 3 groups.: DAZ SDV
YKO; "at 1536; authentication CE.'

     11175.0 was active at 1547z with HUSKER 16 calling and raising
MAINSAIL for current message traffic. There was none and gone.

     8992.0 was active at 1833z with RESURGENT "on 8992" calling SPACE AGE
with "please say again last" with nothing heard and quiet.

     8992.0 was active at 2148z with RESURGENT broadcasting the 30
character EAM 7AZU2D "FOR CHINE ONE" (sounds like "chine"). (It did not
sound like "chime.")

     11175.0 was active at 2201z with SEA ARAMA (sounds like; presumed E6)
calling STRAKE (sounds like); and again at 2202z.  At 2203+/- SEA ARAMA
called REARRANGE with no known response.

     11175.0 was active at 2232z with RESURGENT (audio would sometimes cut
out) broadcasting the 30-character EAM HJRKZ4.

     8992.0 was active at 2250z and 2320z with OUTSMART (presumed E6;
nothing visible) broadcasting HJRKZ4 at the h+20/h+50 TACAMO PAC restoral
rebroadcast window. Nothing heard at 2350z.

Five active E6Bs with none apparently visible as such on mapping sites.
