HFGCS General Log
« on: January 24, 2023, 1822 UTC »
Thought it might be useful to have a HFGCS log thread similar to the EAM/FDM one, but for generic traffic on the net. 

24JAN2023
At some point during the day on 11175,
AFKAI01 calling for radio check
SLEDGE61 calling for radio check
SLEDGE63 calling for radio check

1815z 11175 kHz  MAINSAIL and RAYMOND21 conducting a radio check.  RAYMOND21 is the Offutt command post.  Interesting if they have HF capability now or are going through the global system.  They have stated in the past that they had no HF capability.
