What kind of receiver do you have?

But anyway, here's some frequencies (USB mode) that I regularly check in on:

2749 Halifax Radio Canadian Coast Guard weather updates -- best reception late night and early AM

2887 New York ATC for transoceanic flights -- sometimes this, sometimes they use 3455

3390 US Military MARS net -- Military Ham radio group, basically

3413 Shannon Ireland Volmet aviation weather

3455 New York ATC for transoceanic flights -- could be this or 2887 or 5550 also

3485 New York Radio Volmet aviation weather -- Newfoundland Canada (Gander Radio) uses this frequency too

4724 United States Air Force Emergency Action Messages -- sometimes frequent, sometimes infrequent

5550 New York ATC for transoceanic flights -- mostly used in the summertime

6501 United States Coast Guard marine weather forecasts

6519 same as above

6739 Unites States Air Force Emergency Action Messages

8200 to 8600 or so You can hear some ship to ship, radiotelephone and similar transmissions

8992 United States Air Force Emergency Action Messages -- could be here or 4724 or 6739

I have to clarify that these are mainly night frequencies. Daytime transmissions occur at higher frequencies.

All listed are upper sideband.

Depending on the kind of radio you have, you might receive these a little off the given frequency. But on something like an Icom IC-R75 or a Realistic DX-400 you'll get these right on the frequencies listed above.
