Busy night on 11175 USB.
« on: November 15, 2012, 0046 UTC »
Happened to switch the radio on tonight, and it was already tuned to 11175 KHz USB for some milair action. Immediately heard a lot of activity, with multiple mentions of an "incident". Highlights/callsigns:

- 0034 UTC: Callsigns RARE BIRD, FIRE OPAL (tentative via Token) and HUSKER 25 discussing an "incident". RARE BIRD seems to be a control point.

- 0036 UTC: Mention of ORDER WIRE and burning (presumably UHF) by an unknown call.

- 0037 UTC: OFFUT joins the fray with a quick check in with HUSKER 25.

- 0039 UTC: UNID with NZ/AUS/UK accent says "you're loud and clear here" or something to that effect.

- 0040 UTC: PUERTO RICO responding to "460" who needs a DSN phone patch (number omitted). DSN op is ANDY. 460 is nearly impossible to hear. ANDY mentions nothing specific except a "gas and go".

- 0207 UTC: SKULL 23 (B-52H) calling ANY STATION for a radio check.
- 0209 UTC: SKULL 23 calling SKULL 24 for a radio check. SKULL 24 briefly tunes up and replies. Both have each other loud and clear. Both are very loud at my location, too.
