U.S. CBP aircraft “Troy 312” calling “Salty Dog” and “JIATF South” on 401 net.

With the Caribbean in the news lately, it may be worth checking out the Joint Interagency Task Force South’s 401 SATCOM net for activity. Here is an intercept with a CBP aircraft “Troy 306” calling “Razorback” and “Salty Dog”. Likely related to the Caribbean Air and Marine Branch (CBP) in Puerto Rico. Station was calling on Blue 1 but coming across satcom voice. Also noted another aircraft “Bull 07” calling for a radio check.
