Last month I reported on this blog that CAP was going to conduct a nationwide communications exercise prior to the 4th of July (see http://mt-milcom.blogspot.com/2010/06/cap-to-conduct-nationwide-exercise-soon.html).
Well word has reached my desk that the highly vaulted summer nationwide CAP comm exercise has been postponed and may now be conducted in the Fall.
The CAP is quite active within the HF spectrum and can be interesting to monitor. The following ALE addresses have been seen here in BTown.

I have found the assignment pattern for their ALE addresses as follows:
#### (state two ltr abbrev) CAP aka 0001OKCAP (A state/wing callsign)
### (region abbrev/NHQ) CAP aka 004MERCAP or 909NHQCAP (Region address/National HQ assigned address)
There are some 4-number addresses and these have all been associated with a state wing.
And here is my latest freq list (I know I am still missing some high end freqs)
