I as well logged UNITED 519 at 00:37 UTC. My thoughts on this one is that the US military may have contracted out some civilian aircrafts to transport personnel.
About S4, just two levels above the noise floor. Clearly readable. First time I looked for this one from my QTH. Usually I can only hear Cuban numbers.

* It can be observed that RAILMAN was previous day's HFGCS callsign. While the 02:49 message by RAILMAN was not DISREGARDED, I note that it was shortly followed by a broadcast of the same message under the WOOD DUCK callsign.
Nothing but old men with ham licenses is going to be the death of ham radio. When they pass on, it will be gone. Young people aren't interested in old technology.
I hear that often from people who do absolutely nothing to share the hobby with others, young or old. There's a Young Amateur Radio Club Discord server out there. My teen aged niece has a shiny new license and handheld radio. There are kids out there who are using SDRs, building wireless linked microcontrollers and so on who don't yet realize there is a bigger community of radio hobbyists out there. All they need is some outreach. Europe has YOTA (https://www.ham-yota.com/)
I'd like to find a version of this chart that has the last four years of data but the growth is something like 12% on this one. Maybe Covid killed all the old hams and made the plot nose dive.

A strange one, for sure. Continuous loop of the Russian NA heard last night, and again tonight, about the same time. Last night went off about 06:00. Improving over time. Seems to be coming from Russia from what I can tell. Wonder who might this be. First noted a week or two ago. 73, Walt (Masset, BC)
