[0850z: WEPT 25 AFDAA5 E6B launched from TINKER during the broadcast of the
268 character EAM and flew northeast, eventually arriving at RAMSTEIN. I'm
initially assuming the timing of the launch is a coincidence; otherwise the
"publication" of a callsign (WEPT25) for a bird using a tactical hex code
during such a noticeable transmission is a way of saying "Look at me!!" a
they proceed to very publically cross the ocean to Europe.]

0927z: LETTERBOX; R2YH43; echo rebroadcast; very weak on Texas and
California SDRs; not heard 11175 UTwente SDR.

net.

2238z: ASPEN AIR phonetically spelled his callsign for LETTERBOX. I haven't
heard that much anymore.
