I am uncertain why, but it appears Larry's message got stuck in the QTH
filter.

Subject: Update - Hurricane Hunter HF frequencies
Sorry late replying to this post, but I have been busy testing the new
Airspy HF+SDR (and actually sneaking in some DX time with it when Ms Gayle
isn't looking). [image: Winking smile]

After Hurricane Andrew blew down all the HF antennas at the NHC in Miami
they weren't reintsalled so the old HF freqs listed below are long gone.
All the wx obs data goes via satellite. Occasional comms are heard on the
BAT/CAR MWARA freqs they are flying in for ATC control. Once in a while you
will catch one of the AFRES WC-130Js on DoD HFGCS discrete freqs running
phone patch traffic to usually local news media in areas that are
forecasted to feel the storm effects.

Best bet these days is the MWARA if you just want to say you heard a
hurricane hunter a/c. Otherwise there are various websites that in near
real time carry their wx obs.

You can get those MWARA freqs and more on our Teak Publishing blog – The
Btown Monitoring Post at
http://monitor-post.blogspot.com/p/this-international-hf-aero-frequency.html
.

Keesler AFB does have two HF assignment on 4860 6751 and 13242 kHz that has
reportedly been used in the past for brief a/c comms. Probably a
maintenance status reporting freq. In fact, 6751 is sort of a neat freq to
monitor from time to time as there are others who use it. There is suppose
to be a Keesler CP freq on 7812 kH but that one has eluded me.

Another set of interesting freqs to watch for HH activity are on 11440,
18027 23215 23271 kHz USB. These are Air Rescue Recovery Service (ARRS)
Air-to-Ground worldwide freqs.
