[sci.electronics] What does "GEP" stand for

die@cpoint.UUCP (David I. Emery) (08/30/89)

	Does anybody out there know why the 225-400 mhz wideband FM (240f9)
12 channel FDM-SSB multiplexed Autovon links to the flying command post
aircraft and Air Force One are currently called GEP links ?  What does
GEP stand for ?   Someone must know the meaning of this term from the
arcane anti-world of strategic nuclear deterence, I've never heard it before.

I think GEP stands for Ground Entry Point.  If I remember correctly,
that's what they call the radio stations on the ground that allow them
to connect to the autovon network.
