[MilCom] Post-Hurricane Dorian Activity in Coastal Georgia

[Mac McCormick III]

Thankfully, we received very few effects from Hurricane Dorian in Coastal
Georgia; it passed further offshore than expected for us so it minimized
the storm surge, wind, and rain that we received. The Bahamas and the
Carolinas received far worse than we did, so we're keeping them in our
thoughts.

Yesterday was a pretty busy day in the Savannah area as the Civil Air
Patrol was working along the coastal area doing photo and survey work using
six aircraft:

CAP 920 (C172, N426CP, GA Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 921 (C172, N697CP, GA Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 924 (C182, N945CP, GA Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 930 (C182, N402CV, GA Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 939 (C182, N493CP, GA Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 941 (C172, N9433L, GA Civil Air Patrol)

They were primarily using CAP Air 1 for their ops, but they also used Guard
1, Tac 1, and the R56 repeater in Midway, GA:

149.275 (PL 141.3) – CAP Air 1
139.875 (PL 173.8) – CAP Tac 1
148.150 (PL 107.2) – CAP Repeater 56 Midway
150.225 (PL 162.2) – CAP Guard 1

South Carolina CAP was also active around the Beaufort and Hilton Head, SC
areas, but I couldn't hear their comms as well as I could the GA CAP ones:

CAP 3903 (C182, SC Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 3935 (C182, SC Civil Air Patrol)
CAP 3990 (unknown, SC Civil Air Patrol)

148.125 (PL 107.2/$430) - SC CAP Repeater R25

A couple of USCG Auxiliary aircraft were also in the area throughout the
day, but I only heard one of them on any USCG frequencies; 61B was with
Sector Charleston on 157.050, Marine VHF Ch. 21.

COAST GUARD/COAST GUARD RESCUE 61B (M20T, N1161B, Private)
COAST GUARD 309X (Maule M-5-210C, N309X, Private)
