Just an FYI, as of May, 2022 (and possibly before that, but May I know for sure), the use of the SKYKING format has resumed on the HF-GCS. --- T!
Thank you for the update. I see Ary Boender's intercept of a SKYKING broadcast on the 8th of July 2022 at 05:20 UTC via the UDXF board. Looking forward to potentially hearing more these broadcasts again.

Note: NCS operators are reading the messages too fast for the poor echo condition. Requires a longer pause between items.

257YA6 // TOLCU W7E2E ZD52Q 3RFCX DKVE
Notes: 1. The female NCS operator rescued the 257YA6 msg with the 22:11Z transmission.
2. An other NCS transmitted 3 messages simultaneously along with the female NCS. Poor net / radio discipline.
