Nxxx calls are used by the Navy and Marine Corps, AAxx - ALxx calls are used by
the Army and Air Force.  Along with some of the calls from the Kxxx and Wxxx
blocks -- for example, WAR, AIR, NPG, etc.

On the other hand, once upon a time, N#xxx calls were Navy/Marine MARS, and
A#xxx were Army/Air Force MARS, so you never know...
