Has anyone come up with a good explanation of the "adjustment net" as described in the camo dude manual?

This is the line I find interesting:
------
WHEN TRANSMITTING OVER THE ADJUSTMENT NET LOCAL CALL SIGNS OR EXACTING DESCRIPTIONS SHOULD NOT BE TRANSMITTED DUE TO THE TRI- STATE TRANSMISSION CAPABILITY OF THE NET.
---

Now I know from the mountain hilltops in the area, you can reach Utah and California, so that must be the tri-state reference. Now you have to assume that voice transmissions are not normally made from these high altitude locations, but only for "adjustment". But what would a camo dude adjust at high elevations? My guess is a camera or other surveillance device. When you have a "net" in ham radio jargon, it is a bunch of operators on one frequency, where often only "net control" can hear everyone. Perhaps they are communicating with people on the ground or other hilltops in simplex (no repeater) to make these "adjustments".
