frequencies. This is unusual. I had never heard two different EAMs go
out
on 11.175 at the same time.

I've heard at least 3 or 4, not necessarily the same (EAM) ones, but
certainly
3-4 stations all at the same time.

I was referring to hearing 2 different messages on the same frequency at the
same time. Fun.

In fact, I was hearing 3 at the same time just a bit ago.

It does get busy at times.

Right before election day? You know they won't believe that's legitimate.

Don't worry about the timing. Let's just catch the *******. If we
catch him Monday then we should announce it to the world. Imagine the
morale boost for our troops - for the country. Then justice can be
served.

(receiving 2 stations). After their first message, Offutt came up with a
Sky King call.

Back to the first: shortly after, a message of 48 characters was heard,
after which the party signed off. He had ID'd himself as 'bee bread'. He
then said, "Bee Bread standing by for traffic". No response.

Both Bee Bread and Offutt have continued to rebroadcast those 2 messages
over and over. I have heard messages repeated but not like this.

After Bee Bread's signoff, he stood by for traffic. After a pause I heard
him say, 5 Romeo Alpha, I have you Lima Charlie. Short pause, then signoff.
Must be working duplex as nothng was heard from 5RA.

16:25z, Offutt broadcast a Sky King call.

Nothing terribly unusual about that traffic at all.

I don't know if it's unusual as I am not often home at this time to
listen so there goes my 'baseline' for comparison. I too am not
accustomed to hearing 'standing by for traffic' but just consider it
a bonus as it's something different from what I normally hear.
Perhaps due to the duration of the message they are just ensuring
that anyone who had traffic during the message knows to come forward
with it.

On the other hand, it could be a call to arms in support of a US
invasion of Canada 8-}

Bill, you've been making sense the last couple days what happened? :-)

That may very well be. It is certainly a day for high traffic on 'Triple 1' though,
but I've noticed the same in the past.

And most times when there is a high degree of traffic you just scratch your head
and wonder what is going on. In most instances there is nothing to correlate it to.

But, who knows.

I've noticed the same - after he copped to being a "Republican AWipe,"
he's been a little more sane. Perhaps his medications are working well?

Agreed, hard to correlate especially being that we don't know the
actual content of the messages. One thing that comes to mind however
is previous discussion on this group (not recent) that an indicator of
something noteworthy happening is the lack of activity on the HF
system due to truly sensitive information is via secure satellite
link. In any case, there is a lot to listen to today.

Interesting, as I just indicated to a friend in my chat room that the time to worry
perhaps is when everything goes silent.

He did contact his son in the USArmy, and he said he knew of no big exercise's, but
then, 'triple 1' is primarily Air force.
