Triple post, but that's how I roll ;) Still missing a lot of data, but gathered from Twitter sources and the previous posters I have a hopefully more complete list of calls overnight. Fingers crossed someone else was monitoring the period before 2208z - missing data makes me a sad panda.

EAMs:

14:38:00
15:18:00
15:34:00
15:59:00
16:02:00
16:05:00
18:01:00
22:08:00
22:12:00
22:17:00
22:22:00

Some two-way comms at 1709z.

Also stumbled across this updated guide to EAMs: http://www.numbers-stations.com/media/articles/EAMs.pdf
 
There's some sort of comms coming from an airborne source, sounds like, they're saying Red River followed by their callsign I think. Somewhat hard to hear them.

EDIT: Reviewed recordings, this is what I heard:

"Red River, Red River. RAZOR 81, HOTEL 5, over."

A minute or two later, they were asking RAZOR 81 to confirm their location several times.

Just now, from RAZOR 81, heard "Authenticate Yankee." Then, the other station said they'll contact them by landline, I think? Pretty hard to hear. My question is what does Red River mean?

Can confirm, heard that also on 11175, logged as two-way comms.

"When the river runs red..." ;)
 
Some very interesting calls since last post. Another EAM at 0623z, then two back to back Skykings both at 0652z.

Followed by this were three "Skybird" messages from "Coke 60" - 0727z, 0732z, 0832z. Those are intercepts aren't they?
 
Morning all! Bit of a busy night from the looks of things, with a fair chunk of EAMs. Only calls of note were one EAM at 2009z which didn't repeat - like they only broadcast the message once instead of the usual twice. No "disregard this transmission" either, it was a bit weird. The EAMs at 2012z and 2034z were for "Zigzag".

Full list:

14:45:00
15:09:00
15:34:00
15:37:00
18:37:00
18:42:00
18:54:00
19:42:00
20:09:00
20:12:00
20:18:00
20:34:00
21:09:00

I wonder if that lines up with the recent blackout in Syria, giving a massive 3 hour internet shut down.

I'm speculating, of course.

Interesting theory... though I would've thought it would more be something the Syrian gov would do when they have shit to do. Outage was 05z to 08z, calls during that period as follows:

04:35:00 EAM
06:19:00 EAM
06:23:00 EAM
06:52:00 Skyking
06:52:00 Skyking
07:27:00 Skybird
07:32:00 Skybird Coke 60

SKYBIRD probably is- its an RC-135 callsign.

Where did you see that? The only reference I could find to coke in the callsign lists was here: http://www.the-guide.nl/callsign/country/us/18/

That says either F15 or TR-1A. TR-1A would be an interesting intercept :D
 
Another Skyking now 2305z.

It's been confirmed on the quiet privately, but It was strongly suspected for a while since the first SB transmissions were transcribed here whose information and timing perfectly matched an article the next day about a Rivet Joint chased by Flankers in the Baltic. "XX miles out in international waters" has been heard repeatedly by ADIZ intrusion flights as they are lit up by RADAR or chased out.

Oh cool :) Makes sense, thanks!
 
Morning all!

Little quiet last night, only EAMs and test counts.

15:55:00
16:09:00
18:35:00
18:40:00

Edit: Spoke too soon, EAM now - 2233z.

Morning all! Very busy night from the looks of things, radio was going off constantly while I was up late playing Fallout :P

12:16:00
12:34:00
12:47:00
13:01:00
13:22:00
13:32:00

Finishing up with a phone patch for Mike 1A at 2227z.

25 calls total for the UTC day. Of note is the batch during 12z - that's a traditionally quiet period.
