1630z: VEEP 31 (E6B; AFO5D9) launched from TRAVIS and flew directly to the
Pacific. Lengthy NOTAM reservations for UTC Sunday into UTC Monday.

     8992.0 was active at 1636z with POST GOAL (unknown; presumed E6B)
calling MAINSAIL "to enter the net."

     8992.0 was active at 1648z, 1650s, and 1652z with AMBROSIA (E6B;
TACAMO PAC; presumed VEEP 31) calling NEIGHBOR "to enter the net."  Nothing
was heard after that. Could be simulcasting.

     8992.0 was active at 1656z with AMBROSIA calling DEWBERRY and went
into his message traffic script: Message of 3 groups; JOK PMC MCG; I say
again; JOK PMC MCG; AMBROSIA out. The message lacked a time stamp and
authentication.

     8992.0 was active at 1657z with AMBROSIA calling TEN SPOT and went
into his traffic script: Message of 3 groups; JOK PMC MCG; I say again; JOK
MPC MCG; AMBROSIA out. The message lacked a time stamp and authentication.
He also transposed PMC to MPC.

AMBROSIA traffic follows:

the restoral rebroadcast windows. The strings were not one-and-done on that
circuit.

     8992.0 was active at 2251z (during his VLF broadcast above) with
AMBROSIA broadcasting AO75HU and WGZPSE. During the thrice reading of
AO75HU's preamble a battlestaff member in his immediate vicinity made a
terse, declarative  "comeback" pronouncement.
