Whackos and 'tards comprise a small percentage of the population. You
will find a few of them anywhere you go these days since we have had the
government interfering with the survival of the fittest.

Yeah, I'd like to see that law myself. It's not like anyone is giving out any
sensitive material, and the transmissions are easily heard by anyone with the
proper equipment. Hobbyists, spooks, whackos and 'tards.

I like listening to this kind of stuff because it reminds me of sitting up in CIC
on the ship(s) I was on standing watch on the air search radar and listening to
all the traffic on the radios.

Might be the the same bunch that's been operating what sounds like a
surface warfare net on 4741.5 for the past day or two at local night
(East Coast US), as reported on the WUN reflector. From the sound of
things, you may have found the air defense net. There's probably yet
another voice net somewhere coordinating the LINK-11 (TADIL-A)
operation as well.

If you happen to find it let us know, or post it on WUN.

I heard one guy mention "ASW ex" Which is probably an Anti Sub Warfare
practice operation. This was on 6230.

I thought the #Monitor group closed up shop and moved to #Wun? I
stopped going after a very childish incident caused a "Split" to two
rooms... very childish.. I have very little time for that kind of
nonsense.

Basically, there was a guy in #monitor who either wouldn't or couldn't
stop subjecting other users in the channel to various types of
ridicule and abuse, so he was booted off the channel. He and some of
his friends decided to go start their own channel where they could be
free to hurl whatever insults they wanted at people. As far as I know,
they're still there. The rest of us are in #monitor and the #monitor
channel on zIRC is linked to the original #monitor on IRCnet as well
as to #monitor on DalNET and StarChat.

Where you are naturally welcome to come join us anytime. :-)

Have now listened to 6230 for long enough to draw the following
conclusions:

1. The net is being relayed somehow - either on landline or through
other means. This is because station DELTA asked for a repeat of a
transmission from ECHO FOXTROT (the apparent net control) by saying,
"I have a ten-second delay" and also, I have heard feedback noises and
rushing sounds characteristic of technical problems often evident with
such relays (think 8971.0 and the whales back in 1999 or so)

2. This sounds like a LINK-11 voice coordination net to me...multiple
references to the "gator playground", or just "the playground" or "the
gator" (those are dead giveaways), also "SIX CHARLIE BRAVO will assume
the callsign and parameters of HOTEL", and ECHO FOXTROT asking ALPHA
if she had a "good picture".

3. EF is the apparent NCS with A, D, M, L also in the net. Note single
letter callsigns. The other callsigns being heard (like SIX CHARLIE
BRAVO) are calls being used by stations before they have a PU in the
gator, then they assume a single-letter callsign.

BTW thx for the 4741.5 frequency, I guess this is where the guys on
6230 hang out during the night?

And how regular are these USB nets? I only run into them once a year or
so during operations.

Regardless, it is VERY interesting listening.
