[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - ACCORDION; HAND WIPER; and RHETORIC

[Jeff Haverlah]

2151z 10 Mar 25

     11175.0 was active at 0042z with ACCORDION broadcasting their daily
system wide communications test count.

1302z+/- VIOLA 46 (E6B; AE041B) launched from TINKER and flew north to fly
a long-lived box orbit around OFFUTT.

     11175.0 was active at 1329z with RHETORIC (VIOLA 46) calling and
raising HAND WIPER (NCS HFGCS) to enter the net. Both stations were only at
fair levels on some SDRs; and weak to each other.  At 1336z HAND WIPER
requested a QSY to 8992.0 but neither were heard there. A challenge process
was not logged from these two.

     11175.0 was active at 1406z with RHETORIC calling and working
ACCORDION (in the noise floor of the monitoring SDR). RHETORIC went into
his message script: NIF BRX AFB; Time 1406; Authentication CM; repeat
groups; and out.

     11175.0 was active at 1554z with HAND WIPER broadcasting the 41
character EAM HDEFYA.  At 1617z on 11175.0 only a weakish HAND WIPER echoed
HDEFYA.

     11175z was active at 1630z and 1700z with RHETORIC broadcasting the 41
character HDEFYA at the NCS/ABNCP h+00/30 restoral rebroadcast window.
Nothing heard at 1730z from RHETORIC (it would be under the HFGCS EAMs
below if it happened).

      11175.0 was active with the following EAMs: 1729z 45 character
HDXNIY; 1732z 35 character HDJSQB; 1735z 35 character HD2SYS; and, 1836z 35
character HDXMDT.

RHETORIC broke his box orbit at 1929z, made a longish hairpin pattern and
returned to TINKER for additional pattern work at the base.

The HD series of strings is a rare event in the E6B HF restoral windows.
This is the second Monday in a row that the same E6 (AE041B) performed the
same box orbit; and, performed the h+00/h+30 restoral rebroadcasts of a HD
series EAM.
