I would park on that freq tomorrow at 1600. Might be a daily net. Good catch!

According to the SHARES website they have 200 HF frequencies available.

I saw a pdf file listing 200 HF frequencies within SHARES. However the frequency I heard it on was not listed so they may have revised it. I usually park my sdr in the 20 meter ham band and if I saw a signal in SSB outside to the right of 14.350 it sparks my attention then I tune to it and see what it is. It was listed as a M.A.R.S. frequency at http://qrg.globaltuners.com/?q=14.396&s=1 but net controller NS312 mentioned S.H.A.R.E.S. net. In which searching the callsign NS312 in google search brought up tags for S.H.A.R.E.S. This forms a question in my mind. Is M.A,R.S. still active? Another question, is SHARES taking the place of M.A.R.S.?

I suppose the NCS piece of NCS312 indicates The National Communications Services INC (NCSI),http://www.natcomm.com/
Perhaps a government contracted entity?

Not a private entity. NCS is:
National Communications System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically a goal of the government to have a survivable communications network so that command, control, situational awareness information can be passed. HF is bottom of the list of possible communication paths, but there is no replacement for it. TT

From what I can see most of all their HF communications are conducted via ALE. I've been monitoring 14396 since this thread was post but so far have heard nothing.
