Default Class G Surface Area???

Anybody understand this NOTAM?

!BDR 02/020 JSD CGSA WEF 0602111200-0602112100

Duats can't translate the CGSA:

Stratford CT (Sikorsky) [JSD]: February NOTAM #20 issued by Bridgeport CT
[BDR]:
CGSA effective from February 11th, 2006 at 07:00 AM EST (0602111200) -
February 11th, 2006 at 04:00 PM EST (0602112100)

I'm assuming it stands for Class G Surface Area, but what the heck does
that mean? Is this just some cryptic way of saying the tower is closed
during those times?

Following suit, the proper contraction for Class G Surface Area would be
CGSA, if such a thing existed. But that just doesn't make sense. CGSA is
not an approved NOTAM contraction nor does it appear in the Contractions
book. My best guess is a typo, but I can't think of what it should be.

I'm not sure of the CGSA acronym, but if you call the originating
facility of the NOTAM or the FSS that maintains that NOTAM file, then
you can probably get a better sense of what the real situation is. Btw,
good job in checking NOTAMS. :-)
