[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - BELSTEAD; HONORARY; RUBY RED; and ONE PUNCH

[Jeff Haverlah]

1914z 15 Mar 25

     11175.0 was active at 0124z with BELSTEAD conducting their daily
communications test count broadcast.

0555z+/- RIMER 85 (E6B) launched from PAX RIVER and eventually made it to
the Atlantic.

     8992.0 USB was active at 0604z with RUBY RED working HONORARY (NCS
HFGCS) and entered the net.

     11175.0 was active at 0819z with HONORARY broadcasting the 30
character EAM HJELDR.

     11175.0 was active at 0840z, 0910z, and 0940z with RUBY RED
broadcasting HJELDR at TACAMO LANT's h+10/h+40 restoral rebroadcast windows.

     11175.0 was active at 1804z with ONE PUNCH (E6B) calling MAINSAIL;
raised HONORARY; and entered the net at 1806z. Nothing heard from ONE PUNCH
until 1826z.

     11175.0 was active at 1826z with ONE PUNCH calling (missed it) and
into his message traffic: "Break (no recipient mentioned); Message of 3
groups follows; ATQ IQL LNQ; (no time or authentication); I say again; ATQ
IQL LNQ; time "17"; authentication NY; ONE PUNCH out.

     11175.0 was active at 1828z with ONE PUNCH again with message traffic:
"HONORARY, HONORARY, this is ONE PUNCH; message of 3 groups follows; ATQ
IQL LNQ; time 1751; authentication NY; I say again; fully repeats; ONE
PUNCH out.

     11175.0 was active at 1829z (during ONE PUNCH's broadcast) and 1859z
with HONORARY standing by for traffic.

That's the first traffic of 3 groups sent to a known HFGCS NCS callword.
That timestamp is also approximately 30 minutes old; previous timestamps
have been within a minute or two.

Up to now (1911z) ONE PUNCH has been "dark" this date on ADSB mapping
sites. ONE PUNCH has a noticeable loud "squeal" on his audio, clearly
visible on SDR waterfalls. That squeal has been noticeable over the past
few days.
