I saved the hurricane freqs info from popcom,
better list than I had. http://tinyurl.com/3p6q5f


I'm sorry to say, though, that the list on the PopComm website is
hopelessly outdated. Sorry, but I don't control what goes on that web
site. I do, however, control what goes on my own web site to support
my column in PopComm:

http://utecomm-digest.kc2hmz.net/library/gulf-ham.doc

That will give you and updated list of HF frequencies that are used by
Gulf-area ham ARES/RACES groups for emcomm nets, and which appeared in
the magazine shortly after I took over the utility column therein.

The list on the PopComm web site was done by former PopComm editor
Harold Ort several years ago. It's sadly out of date. For example,
none of the listed frequencies for the NHC in Miami are valid any
longer. The antennas were, ironically, destroyed by a hurricane. The
only HF communications at the NHC now are from the ham station there.

The Hurricane Hunters no longer send info to the NHC by HF radio, it's
sent on satcom, the only time you hear them on HF at all any more is
the occasional appearance on the HF-GCS.
