Hurricane Jeanne
From the chart it looks as though Hurricane Jeanne *could* loop back and still
hit the USA. http://www.hwn.org/atlantic/nhcww1.html This post from Allen Stern in Florida to the WUN Listserver may also be of some interest: Because of my postings yesterday and the interest everyone has in the Hurricane Hunter (c/s TEAL) acft, I am getting a lot of Emails asking the best freqs to hear them on. Living here in Florida's Hurricane Heaven, during the Hurricane Season I hear the TEALs daily on VHF ATC freqs (e.g. 119.825, 135.075, 132.15, 134.2 (Bahamas), 133.9 MHz, etc. They often base out of MacDill, so I pick them up as soon as they are airborne (often on MacDill's Lightning Ops 311.0 freq). I can keep them as they fly down into the Caribbean towards Bahama, Antigua, etc. When they switch to oceanic freqs I am able to hold them that way. Oceanic freqs 11330 and 11396 kHz (both USB) are often used, as they were yesterday. They worked local freqs until about 4:45am this morning, when I heard the last one (TEAL 43) RTB Keesler AFB. I also hear the Hurricane Hunters using the USAF HF-GCS freqs, especially 11175 and 8992, I hear them on Cape Radio's 10780 occasionally, and I hear them making phone patches on MARS freq 13927. The phone patches are both the Morale & Welfare variety to family, as well as official calls to TV News networks like CNN, the Weather Channel, etc. It is often quite a hoot to hear the side comments that network news reporters aboard the acft make when commenting about their wild ride. Just as Monitoring Times radio expert Larry Van Horn has recommended, I urge you to use Hugh Stegman's always up-to-date Hurricane Freq Listing at www.ominous-valve.com/hurricne.txt Hugh works hard to eliminate the obsolete listings that circulate on so many websites and waste so much of your listening time. dxAce |
