0258z: ABOUTSHIP; 5B6PEC; P1.
5B6PECACWU6C3IX5PRYPI6SKVGAUL2
[Weak/mostly readable on 11175.0; very weak 8992.0 on Pennsylvania SDR;
unheard 8992/11175 UTwente SDR. This string not heard earlier after
multiple reviews. Where was this location and when/where did it originate
on HF? Here, now; or ealier?]
########

0320z: SHADRACK (presumed E6B) and raised ABOUTSHIP, but no further comms
heard. Maybe AF6063 approaching TINKER at that time?

0325z: ABOUTSHIP; 5BX7RX; P1.
5BX7RXR4XPZLVGKID5UBTVICUQFR3O

0403z: REINVEST (presumed E6B; unknown hex) called and raised ABOUTSHIP to
exit the net.
0406z: REINVEST exits the net.
[AE3988 was still active anchored on CHARLETTESVILLE; AE92BD was north of
TRAVIS; but COWSHARK below was strong on California SDR. AE8988 had
performed pattern work at Seymour Johnson prior to moving to his racetrack
orbit.]

0417z: COWSHARK (sounds like; presumed E6B; perhaps AE92BD) called and
raised ABOUTSHIP to exit the net.
0417z: COWSHARK exited the net.

########
0431z: PATHOLOGY (presumed E6B) called MAINSAIL and raised MAINSAIL to
enter the net; MAINSAIL responded instantly (no "12 second" delay);
PATHOLOGY requested to enter the net.
0433z: PATHOLOGY again requested to enter the net.
0433z: All faded into the California SDR's noise floor.
[Too weak to follow; nothing further heard; no candidate visible on ADSB
mapping sites.]

[AE292B; AEO413 static hex captured on satcom ping around 0440z; unknown if
airborne or active player.]

[0935z: MINUTEMAN III launch from VANDENBERG SPACE FORCE base. Public
Relations notice states the launch was performed through the E6B ALCS
process.]

1011z: PATHOLOGY (very weak/mostly unreadable) worked MAINSAIL.
1012z: ABOUTSHIP (also very weak) began challenge process.
[IMO PATHOLOGY exited the net.]
[Time correlations can be tricky; but was PATHOLOGY the GLORY TRIP bird??]
########
