Interesting to note the various actual & practice search missions that CAP 
has performed over the last month yet I don't recall seeing any loggings 
posted to the group.

News releases on CAP activities, to include SAR missions can be found at:
http://www.cap.gov/  "CAP News Online"  In addition, "Google News" can be 
utilized to find applicable articles with such search terms as "Civil Air 
Patrol Search", "Civil Air Patrol Plane Search", "Civil Air Patrol 
Exercise", "Civil Air Patrol Search Exercise", etc...

"Monitoring Times" magazine's June 2007 edition columns  'Monitoring 
Military Communications' & 'MT Help Desk" by Larry Van Horn, lists CAP's 
potential frequencies (VHF & HF),  and tactical callsigns that might be 
utilized.  See: http://www.grove-ent.com/MT.html

My understanding is that Civil Air Patrol is aways looking for quality 
senior & cadet members to actively participate in its' three major 
missions/objectives, to include emergency services.  Radio communications 
(mission radio operator) & ELT/EPRIB finding (Urban Radio Direction Finding 
Team member) for emergency services may be of prime interest to some on the 
list.  Information on units near your home location can be found at: 
http://cap.findlocation.com/  just input your zip code.  Consider visiting a 
unit (or two) to see if there's a "fit" to your committing volunteer time to 
this organization.
