: Nope!!

: Sorry, but 14.325 kHz is the ham hurricane net and the HH aircraft do
: not operate on this net. Since Miami Monitor was done away with several
: years ago after Andrew destroyed their HF antennas and meteo data (i.e.
: vortex, dropsonde etc) are passed as data on the UHF milsatcom links, we
: haven't seen near the activity from the HH folks on HF. But your best
: bet these days is to monitor the USAF phone patch frequencies. Friday as
: the first HH entered Isabel, they were on 13927 kHz USB running phone
: patch traffic to the Weather Channel (live interview from the eye of the
: storm). We have seen these folks carrying the bulk of the phone patch
: traffic for the HH aircraft these days. Keep an eye on the frequencies
: below for hurricane hunter aircraft phone patch traffic.

: Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS)
: ======================================
: You will also find a considerable amount of military aircraft voice
: traffic (official and unofficial) on the U.S. Air Force Military
: Affiliate Radio System (MARS) phone patch network frequencies: The
: primary frequencies are 13927.0 and 20992.0 kHz. These are fun and
: interesting frequencies to monitor. The complete list with designators
: are: (mode is USB)
:
: Freq Designator
: 4557.0 RK
: 7633.5 ACJ
: 13927.0 ACB (Primary)
: 14606.0 ACF
: 20992.5 ACZ
: MARS conducts a phone patch admin net on Sundays at 1600 UTC on 13977.0
: kHz (ACC).
:
: And for those interested from our ARRL SEC -- official NC Section HF net
: frequencies are as follows:
: 3573 kHz -- Carolinas Net (CW) -- 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm
: 3695 kHz -- Carolinas Slow Net (CW) -- 8:00 pm

: 7232 kHz -- Tar Heel Emergency Net (LSB) -- whenever activated
:
: In addition to our official ARRL nets, an independent net, the Coastal
: Carolina Emergency Net (3907 kHz LSB) -- 7:00 pm is willing to handle
: Health and Welfare traffic. Be aware that most inbound Health and
: Welfare traffic is very difficult to deliver.

: 73 all and batten down the hatches,
