SHARES North Net 6765 kHz USB 1615+ UTC 25 Jan 2017

[R4002]

FEMA SHARES North (also ID'd as "SHARES Northern") net 6765 kHz USB (going simultaneously with SHARES on 6910 kHz USB)

AA5xx NE5PY and "E5PY" along with other IDs heard.  Very strong to medium readable signals.

Missouri, Virginia, KNZ48 Colorado (different callsign format) and several other states checking into SHARES this morning.  Net control reading check in and check out times in Zulu time.  

Net control mentioned "no broadcast heard today" (I wonder if they're referring to Old Time Radio's transmissions on nearby frequency 6770 kHz, or if they're referring to a SHARES network broadcast.)

NNO5xx and several other alphanumeric callsigns heard.  Several "tactical" callsigns heard

NNE5PY, NFA5PY, NNA5BK and others heard in rotation at 1618 UTC

Net control NNA5BK calling any SHARES or MARS stations at 1619 UTC.

NNE5PY working AFA5PY radio checks.  Several stations taking net control, making calls for check ins, then transferring net control to another station and repeating the process.  "SHARES North calling for any MARS, Air Force, Army or SHARES stations, over" "SHARES North calling any station any region over" "SHARES North calling for any relays, over".

Radio checks and requests for check ins continuing at 1622 UTC

NCS 02 liaison monitoring at 1625 UTC.  Once stations are checked in, callsigns are truncated to the last 3 characters.  Very professional operating procedures on this frequency this morning.
