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

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.
