[MilCom] RE: [WUN] New Coast Guard HF Freqs

[Larry Van Horn]

A quick check out the USCG Nav Center website
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/cgcomms/NewFreq2005.htm
indicates the the USCG is changing the radio frequencies they use for
initial contact effective 1 Jan 2005.

>From the website:
Effective 010001Z Jan 05, the Coast Guard will change the radio
frequencies used for initial Single Sideband voice contact with its long
range communication facilities as follows:

CURRENT SHIP/SHORE 	NEW SHIP/SHORE 
4134/4426 KHz 		4125/4125 KHz 
6200/6501 KHz 		6215/6215 KHz 
8240/8764 KHz 		8291/8291 KHz 
12242/13089 KHz 		2290/12290 KHz 
Note: Frequencies are carrier frequencies and in kilohertz. 

Use of these frequencies is authorized for intial contact and distress
traffic only. The frequency for follow-on non-distress-related Single
Sideband voice communications shall be as mutually arranged on initial
contact.

And now you know the rest of the story! ;-))

         12242/13089                 12290/12290
2. FREQUENCIES ARE CARRIER FREQUENCIES AND IN KILOHERTZ.
   USE IS AUTHORIZED FOR INITIAL CONTACT AND DISTRESS
   TRAFFIC ONLY. FREQUENCY FOR FOLLLW-ON NON-DISTRESS RELATED
   SINGLE SIDEBAND VOICE COMMUNICATIONS SHALL BE AS MUTUALLY
   ARRANGED ON INITIAL CONTACT.
3. CANCEL AT TIME//292002Z DEC 04//

I received it twice and unfortunately both times the beginning of the
message 
was garbled.
But looks like the CG has switched to new HF maritime freqs.
