restoral rebroadcasts from TACAMO LANT ending at 1910z 19 Oct 25. A quiet
day. Note the use of MCLELLAN (sounds like) after the end of this UTC day.

[2309z 19 Oct 25: AF1E3E launched from TRAVIS and eventually flew to the
Pacific, eventually returning to the California coast at 0407z with no
known message traffic (HF/VLF) during his time over the Pacific.]

LONGHAND (NCS) to enter the net.
0040z: TALL CORN entered the net; outbound from the California coast at
time of transmission.

1711z: WEST COAST with test count.

[1808z+/-: ? AF1CDB E6B launched from TINKER, flew to the JOPLIN, MO area

MCCLELLAN/OFFUTT/ANDREW history) to exit the net while descending into PAX
RIVER.
