Might be today, since the notice page is daily. However, I sure wouldn’t bet money on that theory.

On the other hand, its now 1353 GMT so those should be gone now. I won’t hear the last decodes from these, but you should be able to hear Annapolis go away.

I was checking past 1200z, and still going, so it must be the 30th at 1200z. I'll try to remember to record past my usual end time, to catch them going off the air. I should be able to hear 3 of them.

They're confused...

The note at the top states 1200Z, but no date. In the lower section, they give a date and it will be at 1400Z.

I think it is still the 30th, and the 18 means 2018?

Erm... yeah, you're right.

That's just odd.
