More on EAMs
A typical EAM message is 30 characters long but can be different. There have been EAMs over 200 characters long before. The message usually ends with “Mainsail Out”, but can change based off where it is being sent from ex. (Offutt out). Mainsail is the collective callsign for all ground stations in the network. From 2013 – April 2015, “Mainsail Out” was a much more commonly used ending than the originating base. Since then, you will now mostly hear a callsign being used for the sender/recepient.

It appears Ambassador Yovanovitch did not accurately answer this question I asked her during her “impeachment inquiry” deposition under oath.

Just heard station DEEPCUT send a 30-char EAM. Strangelove-ish as can be!

Casino tourism has also grown to become a significant contribution to the economy in Northern Cyprus. They were first opened in the 1990s, and have since become very popular with visitors from Turkey and the rest of the island, where casinos are banned. This has led to huge investments in the casino sector.[113] However, the sector has been criticised due to claims of its lack of benefits for the small and middle-scale business and shop owners.[114] The "nightclubs" that have been established for prostitution attract sex tourism to Northern Cyprus and the industry has been described as a "civilized one", despite the sex workers being described as "vulnerable to abuse".
Cyprus was settled by Mycenaean Greeks in two waves in the 2nd millennium BC. As a strategic location in the Middle East, it was subsequently occupied by several major powers, including the empires of the Assyrians, Egyptians and Persians, from whom the island was seized in 333 BC by Alexander the Great. Subsequent rule by Ptolemaic Egypt, the Classical and Eastern Roman Empire, Arab caliphates for a short period, the French Lusignan dynasty and the Venetians, was followed by over three centuries of Ottoman rule between 1571 and 1878 (de jure until 1914).
