HOLD FAST in phone patch to SHEEP MAN via station DOWN DEEP for mux setup,

HOLD FAST wants to use a series of GEP's including stations STRINGENT and DEPENDENT, ending at station BEAT BACK, with RF16 and RF1 as the mux channels.

SHEEP MAN replies RF1 is reserved so will use RF12 and RF16.

HOLD FAST says wants to use 16 for the analog side, 12 for the digital.

The following is random chatter from HOLD FAST, might be mistakenly keying mic as only one side of convo heard;
"Go for HOLD FAST"
"Mission number 12085 tack 18"

I'm still waiting for them to show up on uhf mux and/or enter the net via hf.

Southwest 15 (commercial airliner) raises MAINSAIL on 11175 2105Z 03JAN19, asks if MAINSAIL is able to perform a selcall check for them, lol. MAINSAIL, who apparently doesn't realise this is a commercial flight, asks if they'd like a phone patch, Southwest 15 declines the pp and thanks MAINSAIL for the radio check. Been a long time since I heard commercial aviation on hfgcs.

Was Southwest 15 aware they were working the USAF network and not one of the MWARA frequencies when they asked for a selcall check?  lol

[Josh]

He "sounded" ex mil, a lot of airline pilots got their wings in the USAF, so my guess is he knew exactly where he was radiowise.

ROTARIAN seems to be having trouble comprehending, asks BOOK STORE to stand by one mike.

I’ve never heard digital on 11175 kHz USB....11180 kHz and 11181 kHz, on the other hand...
