[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - TICK TOCK

[Jeff Haverlah]

0048z 05 Mar 25

The HFGCS (11175 etc) was active with TICK TOCK (NCS HFGCS) broadcasting 30
character EAMs:

2152z: HJD5ZV
2200z: HJO7F4
2203z: HJQA6Y
2224z: HJHTIM
2227z: HJQV4C
2232z: HJB5GQ

Then, TICK TOCK was active on 11175.0 only with an "echo" of same:

2249z: HJD5ZV
2252z: HJO7F4
2311z: HJQA6Y
2315z: HJHTIM
2334z: HJB5GQ.

     The "echo" (50 minutes+/- offset) was very weak/barely readable on a
California SDR. Unheard on most CONUS SDRs. However, on a guess he was
found to be at fair levels on a Hawaiian SDR.

     He was also found active at 2334z on 8992.0 only (Hawaiian SDR) with
another broadcast of HJB5GQ.

     These "echo" broadcasts on apparent single frequencies only are
reminiscent of the old echo rotations except the echo broadcasts are under
the daily NCS callword.

     The very active "FOR" EAM cycle that apparently began with a 23??z 25
Feb 25 broadcast FOR LONELY RIDER, apparently concluded at the 2102z 02 Mar
25 broadcast of FOR ANOINT.  A 5 day+/- activity.

      And, the preamble prefix change from TR to HJ at 2152z 04 Mar 25
appears to conform to a recent trend of the first character of the
2-character prefix staying "sticky" (for lack of a better word) between the
different classes of EAMs (TR and T3) (5G; 5Q; 5M) (HD; HJ). It's beginning
to catch the eye and ear.
