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

Good here but lots of static, plus CG-1501's radio troubles. An
alcohol explosion?? that ship must've popped like a popcorn kernel.

More seriously, one burn victim looked bad on CNN -- completely black
and fighting a nurse trying to insert an IV, looked like... ugh.

As Hank said there is some activity now on 5690 at 1903. CG 1503 (C-130) with
CAMSLANT. They were up on 5696 just prior.

Also hearing CG Puerto Rico on 5696. They might be busy down there with Haiti.
