Default Hurricane Jeanne

From the chart it looks as though Hurricane Jeanne *could* loop back and still
hit the USA.

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.
