I tried posting this about 1 hour ago but it didn't go
thru, trying again...

I've been monitoring comms since 1800z today
concerning VAW-77 and the hurricane Katrina recovery
efforts. There have been several of their E-2C's
airborne throughout the day. 

At 1415z WOLF 1 advised an unknown station on 282.425
that the Navy has been tasked with providing 24x7
coverage during the recovery. WOLF advised they would
be orbiting over Greene County, Alabama.

At 2135z WOLF 3 (aircraft #605) called base on 285.1
and advised they would need to have SATCOM installed
in all the aircraft starting tomorrow.

Some of the frequencies to watch:
123.050 ? (passed by WOLF 1)
134.900 ?ARTCC? (passed by WOLF 3)
136.375 ICE
282.425 ? base (haven't been able to make out what
they are calling it)
285.100 VAW-77 WOLF BASE 
334.900 ? (passed by WOLF 3)
345.000 guard

Callsigns heard so far:
WOLF
SEAHAWK
HAMMER
