Nope.  Sky King.  Late 1950s, early 1960s.  I have log books full of 
them.

Always read as "words twice".
"Hello SKY KING.  This is Andrews.  Do not answer.  Break.  SOB SISTER 
ECHO.  Break.  Authentication is TANGO WHISKEY 1 9.  Authentication 
time is 3 0 0 1 2 5 ZULU.  Break.  I say again.  Hello SKY KING.  This 
is ... (etc)"

The best comm operators had a real rhythm in their voices that I'm 
sure improved readability for those in their "audience" who were at 
long range.

I have never heard any SEAKING messages and as I recall the EAMs 
didn't start until about 1980 or a little before.  Maybe someone else 
remembers better than I do.  (I had stopped keeping logs by the time 
they started.)

Thanks for the link to the picture of all that nice TMC gear.  Oh man, 
I wish I had some of that equipment today!
