Haiti Freq Update/Milcom Blog Logs - Jan 20, 2010 - Charleston SC

Our good friend Mark Cleary down in Charleston, SC has passed along some more HF logs, some of which are related to the disaster situation in Haiti. As I have point ed out in other post, the COTHEN Network continues to be a major player in the US response. Check out our online profile at
http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2010/01/cothen-hf-net-and-haiti-relief.html

It is also a good idea to keep an ear, uh extra receiver on 9018.0 kHz and watch for AFSOC assets supporting the mission in Haiti.

For our friends in Florida keep a radio watch on 138.950/236.000. Homestead ARB has been setup as a CRE (Contingency Response Element) under the 621st CRW, callsign Kingfish Kilo. We believe that it is using the ALE address on the HF-GCS Scope Command ALE network of MOBD17. Now anyone want to take a stab at Kingfish Alpha? Hurlburt or MacDill maybe?

The 621st CRW is supporting Haiti ops, see:
