Subject: [AmFmTvDx] Navy Hurricane Bulletins on 530 kHz


from:  Larry Vogt, N4VA

Second-hand information from friend in Florida indicates possibility of
weather bulletins being broadcast by US Navy on 530 kHz.  This would be
due to possible evacuation of (portions of?) Monroe County, FL, should
path of Hurricane Georges warrant such action...  Unknown whether station
is on yet.  Also unknown is power and location - however, this might be a
frequency to watch should this materialize.  -- As well as all other
South Florida frequencies for nighttime operation with daytime power and
pattern.


73, Larry

Just grabbed the 24/0300 advisories.  We have three Atlantic hurricanes
(Georges, Ivan, and Jeanne) going at once, and one tropical storm (Karl).
Georges is currently the only one near land.

Hurricane Net control on 14325 is giving out 14209, 14267.5, and 14283 as
health and welfare frequencies.  North Florida is on 3950 LSB.

SHARES Pactor BBS being heard on 6800 and 13242.  According to the control
on the coordination net, they use simple PK-232 and Kantronics TNCs.  I'm
also hearing Pactor on 13457.5.  For some reason, there's also some of what
sounds like Short Term Anti-Jam.

Tomorrow's SHARES Coordination Net check in windows are 1300, 1600, 1900,
and 2300 UTC, on 14396.5.  These last an hour each and really bring out a
lot of stations.

Some callsigns heard:

KGD 34
KGD 34A taking traffic from ACM3VI, latter possibly in a hurricane area.
RED FOX 81       (IL)
CAP WEST 41      (NM)
FLORIDA CAP 373  (FL)

10493.0
WGY914, FEMA, Thomasville, GA and WGY912, FEMA, Berryville,
VA (USB) discussing status of WGY914 mobile.  WGY912 passed
frequencies to be relayed to 914 mobile:

VHF
142.450
139.100 (transmit)
143.000 (receive)

HF(?)
12.450

I'm skeptical about the HF, but that's the way it was given.  Might be worth
checking for awhile.
