The majority of the traffic was logged within 5-10 min after turning on my
radio.. This was all logged over a period of an hour or so.. Very unusual
for me to hear so much.. at one time.. I couldn't keep up with the mil
traffic. Not enough radios.. I missed a lot of calls cause one would switch
freqs and then a more interesting callsign would come up and I'd log that
instead.. A lot of missed REACH calls.
