Cg 345.000

Faint USCG comms on 345.000 tonight. Anybody else copying these? Pretty rare to actually copy anything on this or the other CG Mil UHF freqs. Perhaps some aircraft working w/ a NJ station.

Caught that Dave weakly on same.Was CG 2127 HU-25A ATC Mobile Alabama calling (Washington DC Air) on that freq a few times then nothing heard.
I didn't know Wash DC had a freq/station but I guess they do.
Usually Atlantic City is only one I catch and that is rare also.
He is a ways from home!

Doing some follow up and WUN club says Coast Guard 01 the Commandant's plane is stationed at Reagan National so that is where that Falcon jet may have been headed.
Best web page for Coast Guard aircraft and recent sightings..

Thanks, Mark....that explains it.

Interestingly, I've never heard any Baltimore Sector comms on those UHF freqs, even when visiting USCG helos are flying around - they typically just use the VHF maritime freqs. Appreciate the web page referral (the list of USCG HF freqs is outstanding).
