I have been listening to HF MWARA frequencies like 11309, 11330,8918, etc.
I hear aircraft checking in with NY radio giving postion reports using 5 letter location names like LAMER, and ONGOT for positions over the North Atlantic and Caribbean.
I have become familiar with many of the Reporting Points off the coast of the USA.
I have been using Airnav.com to look up the locations.
Today I heard a postion report from an aircraft that said it was at something like Daphne(DAFNE?)
I couldn't find any listing off the east coast that sounded anything like Daphne.
I found DAFNY, but it was in Texas. I don't think any aircraft over Texas would be checking into a net for the North Atlantic.
I started looking around the internet for lists of reporting points, but I couldn't find any.
<<<<<<Does anybody have a URL for a downloadable list of Oceanic reporting points?>>>>>
Also, as I was searching for a list of reporting points, I found several mentions of aviation maps called WATRS (Western ATlantic Reporting System), NARC ( not the DEA, But North Atlantic Reporting) and a similar map called PORC for the Pacific Ocean.
<<<<<Does anyone have a URL for downloadable copies of these maps?>>>>>>>
I have tried searching on the FAA website, but I am just not finding them.Either I am using the wrong search terms, or they are just not available on the FAA websites.
