========
0153z: MILEPOST (NCS); MTKX6J; P1.
MTKX6JWWE4BYR2V7CP2YHVJO2YLTO5
[Apparently fed to TACAMO PAC.]

0205z: COMBATANT (presumed AE44F9) called MILEPOST and raised MAINSAIL to
exit the net.
0208z: COMBATANT exited the net; A344F9 left it's 5900 foot altitude
racetrack orbit north of TRAVIS (northwest of DIXON, CA) and landed at
0229z.
[COMBATANT was as strong on the SDR as the 0250z TOADSTOOL restoral
broadcast; but interestingly.....]

0250z: Very weak station (unable to pull the ID out of the noise floor;
presumed E6B; presumed Due Regard); MNTKX6J; h+20/h+50 TACAMO LANT restoral
rebroadcast window.
0320z: Nothing heard then or 0350z.
No 22.7 KHZ VLF broadcast seen on the W1VD VLF Grabber website; similar to
the lack of indicated broadcast of the TOADSTOOL MTW4DX.
========

[1444z/-: AEC155 presumed E6B launched from TINKER and flew to the
MICHIGAN/GREAT LAKES region; then east to the NEW YORK CITY area; then
westbound back to TINKER.]

[1533z+/- AE0413 static hex E6B launched from TINKER for activity around
the southwest/west of TINKER and back;  then northeast bound.]
