UTC 14 Jun 26

Very Quiet.

No logged message traffic during the entirety of the UTC day. Which
apparently means there has been no logged message traffic since 0214z UTC
13 Jun 26. Logs to the contrary appreciated.

E6B AF15D7 launched from ST. CROIX, U.S VIRGIN ISLANDS to PAX RIVER. Which
means it went to the islands "earlier."

1252z: YOKOTA with a test count.

========
1621z: PIANO KEY (presumed E6B; apparently Due Regard - not visible on ADSB
mapping sites; strong level on Ohio Valley SDR, weak on California SDR)
called SPREADER (presumed NCS).

1623z: PIANO KEY called SPREADER and raised MAINSAIL but did not respond to
MAINSAIL (apparently did not hear him).

1628z: PIANO KEY called SPREADER and raised MAINSAIL (unheard on multiple
SDRs) but declared MAINSAIL to be weak and unreadable so he was "switching

1636z: PIANO KEY called MAINSAIL.

1637z: PIANO KEY called SPREADER.
