Request made for more helos. 8983kHz usb.

One helo at hospital after drop off cannot take back off before

Both sides just moved to 5696

Same here in Detroit. Can copy CG1501 much better-he said he was having
trouble at 8983 also. Oceana Radio just called in...

I can hear at least two ships on that frequency faintly, but copyable when the
static subsides. I think the static must be local, one of these years I'll get
around to putting up an outdoor antenna...

I think they said earlier that it might be several hours before Albacore arrives
on scene. Could be a long night.

At the rate ethanol vaporizes, you couldn't pay me enough to transport a
shipload of it.
