LANT.]

0102z: HARDLUCK called MAINSAIL and mostly FUSEBOX "on 11175"
(simulcasting; heard on 4724.0). Called often through 0108z.
0109z: HARDLUCK raised FUSEBOX (who ID'd as such for the entire session
even though they are in the UTC new day) and requested to exit the net.
0112z: HARDLUCK exited the net. Strong levels on California SDR; remaining
dark on ADSB mapping sites.

0118z: MAINSAIL with test count.

0123z: LOST DIME (suspected AEA9F6) called and raised AID FIRST (NCS) to
enter the net.

[Fed to TACAMO LANT.]

[0355z+/-: 17.8 KHz (LANT) VLF FSK MSK broadcast detected on the W1VD VLF
Grabber website.]

[0418z+/-: 17.8 KHz VLF FSK MSK broadcast.  It's waterfall signature is
very different from "normal" activity. The 0355z broadcast also varied from
"normal" signatures.]

[No HF h+10/h+40 HF restoral rebroadcast activity was logged from TACAMO
LANT. Perhaps poor propagation to SDRs in use?]
