(S/STD) Provide the true name of the person associated with the call SG1A sign This question has no meaning. Several people work the radio and use the callsign all the time: at least 8 males and one female have used it recently. There was a perception that no one there knows about the female using it. She is up to something which is against the others. I get the further impression that the "person" of importance to the question has never seen this ship, and is only remotely/financially connected to it. There was a fleeting impression of the name "Jones" or "Johns ... " connected with this person, but this was not further pursued. 2. (S/STD) Describe the vessel associated with the callsign SG1A The vessel is roughly the size of a large shrimp vessel. It can sail under both sail and diesel power. It uses diesel almost all the time; the sails being almost completely for emergency purposes, or for extremely quiet operation. There are tall, thin "things" sticking up off the deck, and one thick, sturdy "thing" which leans off the back (see Fig. 1). The "house" (I do not know nautical terminology) has a main mast sticking out of its top. There is also a radio antenna on top of this mast. 3. (S/STD) Determine the current location of the vessel: At 08:15 on 20 == == = " STIPPLED NOFORN SPECIAL ACCESS REQUIRED Handle Via SKEET Channels Only Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000700180003-3

It is located with at least one other ship of roughly equal size and type at a distance of approximately 1/4 mile off shore. The shoreline where it is located is uninhabited, white-looking sands and fairly thick, very low vegetation. 4. (S/STD) Determine the destination (s) of the illegal drugs: No drugs were on board as of 8:15, 20 MAR 90. 5. (S/STD) Determine the nature of the illegal drugs: See item 4, above.
