0051z and 0052z DANDY DAN with their daily communications test count. (see
1935z).

     8992.0 was active at 0823z with EIGHT AMP (NCS HFGCS) broadcasting the
120-character EAM H5VSNM.  It conforms to the structure of other 120
characters strings:

6 preamble/17 block/4 [18/quad] blocks/9 ending block.

Example below reformatted for clarity (if the gmail fixed-width formatting
holds):

H5VSNM
NP3CYDHZNLZUCG2S7
2VOBCYRKCPQ6NKCOZIKKKK
RX2O6DC6RR7243LT32HHHH
EGL7TR3CTDIHFFVOEOVVVV
ME44YDWYYFWOJJN6O62222
LCOZBON63

Why include the 18 characters before the KKKK quad? Note the placement and
spacing of the "C"s and compare with the placement and spacing of the
first  and third "Y"s in the 2222 quad block. Coincidence? Probably/maybe
but it catches the eye and things such as that become noticeable over time
(decades). Sometimes it's there and sometimes not. And placements vary
string to string if they happen in this series of EAMs. There are other
placement coincidences in the above string's 18- character blocks as well
if you look. [Prior to April 2013 those were 19/quad and 10 character
ending blocks.]

     8992.0 was active at 0832z and 0901z with EIGHT AMP broadcasting the

     11175.0 was active at 1847z and 1848z with PANHURST (excellent audio

calling BASE ONE for HF radio check with no known response.

     8992.0 was active at 1849z with PANHURST (very weak) calling BASE ONE.
At 1850z PANHURST called MAINSAIL; and, at 1852z he appeared to enter the
net in the blind.

     11175.0 was active at 1858z, 1859z and 1904z with PANHURST calling

     11175.0 was active at 1926z with PANHURST calling out to WALKOVER and
went into his message traffic of three groups script: KZH JOJ YRQ; time 27;
authentication YW; repeated; PANHURST out.

     11175.0 was active at 1934z with PANHURST calling TIMEOUT with no
known response.

     11175.0 was active at 1935z with DANDY DAN (USSTRATCOM CP;
weak/readable) calling "LAST CALLER" with no known response.

     11175.0 was active at 1936z and 1937z with PANHURST calling TIMEOUT
for "unsecure" HF voice check.

the 30-character EAM HJHN7Y.

2231z (2 hours later): DENTO 13 (AF2A7A) launched from PAX RIVER and flew
to the Atlantic. TACAMO LANT. He was visible on ADSB mapping sites as a
stub. He became active on HF with attempted restoral/rebroadcasts in the
new UTC day.

     11175.0 was active at 2300z with DOXOLOGY calling EIGHT AMP to check
into the net.  DOXOLOGY was previously active at 0210z+ with restoral
rebroadcasts, and at 0401z with a VLF broadcast.  He was active 02 Apr 25
