[MilCom] MIL: 11175.0 USB - HONORARY UTC Sunday; ROMAN LAD

[Jeff Haverlah]

2145z 17 Mar 25

UTC Saturday 15 Mar 25.

     As noted in an earlier report, 11175.0 was active at 1859z 15 Mar 25
with HONORARY (NCS HFGCS) "standing by for traffic." HONORARY was active at
h+00/h+30 with "standing by for traffic statements" through 2300z.

     11175.0 was active beginning at 2003z 15 Mar 25 with ONE PUNCH (E6B)
calling MAINSAIL, eventually raising HONORARY at 2007z to exit the net.
They began the process but "went quiet" before any logged completion of the
process.

     11175.0 system wide was active at 2038z 15 Mar 25 (maybe beginning an
hour window of message traffic) with HONORARY broadcasting the 27 character
structured EAM 2AXDZI.

     11175.0 only was active with HONORARY "echoing" S2XDZI. Weak on
California SDR; good levels on Hawaii SDR. I call them "echo" broadcasts
because they are reminiscent of older GCCS/GHFS echo rotations; except that
it's all under the NCS callword. Some strings are "echoed" and many
apparently not.

11175.0 system wide was active with HONORARY broadcasting at...

2050z 30 character HJYO4G.

2104z 30 character HJ2KWK
2106z 30 character HJYUOI
2124z 30 character HJMALR

     11175.0 system wide was active at 2130z with HONORARY broadcasting
HJMALR; more to follow; HJYOUI; more to follow; HJ2KWK.  The h+00/h+30
NCS/ABNCP restoral rebroadcast window. The message queue must have
immediately expired as nothing was heard at 2200z.  However...

     11175.0 was active at 2140z with a weak HONORARY echoing HJMALR;
HJYOUI; HJ2KWK. Coincidently (probably) that's a restoral window for TACAMO
LANT. An "echo" broadcast of a NCS restoral outside of the 00/30 window is
unusual (although the NCS sometimes misses the window by as much as +10
minutes on the system wide broadcasts).

     11175.0 was active at 2205z with HONORARY broadcasting the 35
character EAM 7A53JO but disregarding the string two thirds of the way
through the first reading.  They were back up at 2207z with a complete
transmission of the traffic.

2312z KELT 72 (E6B; AE041B) launched from MCDILL and flew westbound into
the Gulf apparently enroute to TINKER, avoiding a major north/south weather
system over the Mississippi Valley.

     11175.0 was active at 2322z with ROMAN LAD calling HONORARY to enter
the net.
