Don't know if it's related but VTAC-11 was busy today (from 11am - 5pm) with various air attack assets combating a particular fire. Someone had a 'bucket malfunction' and couldn't drop their payload. That later switched to an intermittent bucket drop. Comms were scratchy at best and you know pilots just love to mumble at low volume!

Given some transmissions had the 'shaky pilot voice' -- it might be these guys: https://twitter.com/WANationalGuard

One of the last transmissions for the day had some CW -- "NMG"
