The Listening Post: 6/19

[pringles]

Morning all! There was a lot of misinformation and general confusion on Discord last night regarding comms tracking. Not sure how to solve this without excluding people with limited experience (like myself only a few months ago!), maybe have separate rooms for experienced comms monitors and monitors in training or something.

Anywho, fairly normal traffic overnight on 8992 except for a lot of interference (which seems to be the new norm for 8992).

EAMs at 1306z, 1339z, 1403z, 1550z, 1553z, 1603z, 1950z.

17 calls for the UTC day with just over 2 hours remaining. Once again a calm and quiet day on HF-GCS. Rate of messages is below average.

It's good that traffic was normal. Thanks for keeping such good logs man/woman!

Quite a few test counts from various callsigns right now.

Got a SKYKING.

 

[hrng]

Skyking now - "Badgirl" sounded like? Haven't heard that codeword before

 

[jayfeather31]

Another SKYKING.

 

[hrng]

Another Skyking - "Lions"

 

[jayfeather31]

Another Skyking coming in.

 

[hrng]

Another one - "Gators". Weird to have 3 Skykings and no EAMs.

Another Skyking coming in.

You keep beating me I may have to cede defeat on this front

 

[jayfeather31]

8992 is very quiet. Nothing is coming out.
