Hurricane Florence HF/VHF/UHF Frequencies - 14 Sep 2018 1300 UTC Update

As new information comes in, I will update this page here on the blog and also post individual items on our twitter feed @MilcomMP. 

As hurricane Florence approaches the coast, the US Government SHARES network should stand up.

I expect that the US Government SHARES national network to activate during Florence at some point probably late Thursday or Friday. Watch 14396.5 kHz primary, 14487.0 kHz secondary days, and 4618.0 kHz nights in USB.

Since this is a SE US event, I expect that the SHARES SE US net freq to be in use. Watch for possible activity on 5236.0 kHz and 7554.5 kHz during days and 4458.0 kHz nights in USB mode.
