     BELLY 22 (E6B; AE040E) launched ex MCDILL at 2031z  21 Feb 25 and
headed northbound along the Atlantic coast.

     11175.0 was active at 2134z with BUNK BED (weak on Gulf coast SDR;
BELLY 22) calling HIGH TIDE (or sounds like in the noise floor) with no
response.

2145z BUNK BED (weak but stronger) called OPAL RING.

     11175.6 BUNK BED on the .6 offset frequency called OPAL RING.

2157z BUNK BED called OPAL RING and then went into his script: "...Message
of 3 groups follows; RCU NGC BII; Time 58; Authentication UR; I say again;
and repeats the 3 groups, time stamp, and authentication; and, out.

2201z OPAL RING again with "OPAL RING, OPAL RING this is BUNK BED; message
of 3 groups follows: RCU NGC BII; Time 02; authentication QD; i say again;
repeats the groups, time and authentication; and "This is BUNK BED out."

All apparently on 11175.6 and in the blind as there was no known response.

BELLY 22 was north north east bound over the Carolinas at the time.
