I think only like 40 or 50% of the echos out there made it through.

I can tell you this is nothing new. My class had the same problem and we just did not graduate that many for our class. After the Commo Cmte came out and did the same they just kept on. It was a fact of , New 05B's, stress of having to do all the task on a team not just commo, and not knowing their job as well as they thought. The Base station was on Bragg, 7th SFG BOP and as you mentioned they were shooting over them. HF is a lot easier in long distance than close.
They did a 2 week retrain and put most of them in the next Phase II class. I think most made it but they were not happy having to do all of Phase II again.
That was Life back then as now. You know that every a team goes out for training or for real it is a COMEX..... That is just the way the Command makes it.
