2115z: FOG HORN; FOR DOTY 04; JAIJCT; echo rebroadcast; weak.
[SIGONELLA stepped on this transmission with very short (statement only)
"test count").]

SLED" at the time) maybe briefly working MAINSAIL. See below.

2122z: LAJES with test count.

[Fed to TACAMO PAC.]

2140z: BOBSLED; CBICLT; h+10/h+40 TACAMO LANT restoral rebroadcast window.
[The W1VD VLF Grabber website is having "issues" this afternoon. The German
DL0AO Grabber website does not indicate a 17.8 KHz broadcast during this
time (a night path for signals that propagate great distances; or, there
was a broadcast and it did not make it into Germany). There has been no E6B
visible on ADSB websites departing PAX RIVER for the ATLANTIC. The 2140z
BOBSLED broadcast was at good levels on 8992.0 on a CONUS southeast coast
SDR. BOBSLED at the turn of the new UTC day has crossed over the coast to
the ATLANTIC. The E6Bs occasionally conduct HF restoral sessions while over
land; or, there's a second E6B out over the Atlantic and is being replaced
by AE36C6; or??. Update: BOBSLED was the E6B out of TINKER conducting his
restoral session enroute to the Atlantic.]

[

2210z: BOBSLED; CBICLT; LANT restoral.
2240z: BOBSLED; CBICLT; LANT restoral.
