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. Unlike some other sources on the net it isn't just one 18 MHz COTHEN freq, it is all of them. Check out our online profile at

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.
