1336z: SCULPTOR; FOR TEETER; DEVZ34; repeat broadcast.

1509z: NOISE 12 (male operator) called MUDBUG.

1516z: NOISE 11 (female operator) called MAINSAIL.

1603z: NOISE 12 called (in the noise floor).

1621z: NOISE 12 called and raised NOISE 11 and requested her VSAT status.
1623z: NOISE 11: good VSAT but had yet to check-in with RAYMOND 12.
1623z: NOISE 12: requested a relay via VSAT an additional update that
they've passed remaining data to MUDBUG. Engine #3 throttle setting is
greater than "one unit" out of reference.

OPS).

1659z: NOISE 12 (continuing): RWR has no audio; COMM2 has HP fault; flaps
warning has been resolved; EPR GAUGES have good indications.

1711z: RED RIVER: Minot wants to know how you resolved issues. They want to
make sure the flap warning horn issue was not "resolved" by pulling the
circuit breaker (editorial: surely not).
1712z: NOISE 12 confirmed they did not pull the circuit breaker to
"resolve" the flaps horn issue; and EPR gauges are working fine now.

1720z: RED RIVER: MINOT accepted and allowed NOISE 12 to continue.
1721z: NOISE 21 called RED RIVER with no response.
