I miss the old SkyKing, Do Not Answer messages. Those were cool. I also miss their audio being clearer

[@FirstToken]

I have not heard one myself for several months, but others are reporting that the traditional "SKYKING, SKYKING, do not answer" format is still in use, just less common for the last year+.

Is "skymaste"r the new "skyking"?

[@FirstToken]

There have, as near as I can tell, always been both Skymaster and Skyking messages, so I do not think Skymasters have replaced Skykings. Skykings are very rare these days, but still are occasionally reported. I have not heard a Skyking myself in several months, but have heard recordings from others that have heard them.

What is the significance of Skymaster? Is that a high level message?

[@FirstToken]

I don't think any one in the hobby community is sure, and the people who are are not talking. They are certainly less common than EAMs and, in recent times, more common than Skykings. I guess it is probably safe to put the priority between those two.
