Some of the calls dealt with Bill's apparent trip to California at the end of the week. Things like his golf schedule " he'll be playing at the best course between San Francisco and Pebble Beach", a rumor about some of Chelsea's friends joining pop for a round of golf - "the rumor is not true", and a call dealing with freqs. " USA 6 is standard Sierra" were discussed. At 2253z heard Waldorf on the Orderwire reply to unknown that they will be looking for unknown late. I suspect unknown is AF1 since Bill is headed for a 2000L fund raising dinner in NYC, and the nature of the phone calls. At 2255z carrier dropped:>(. 73 de OBK Time for a Dominion :>)
