Anyone picking up any chatter down there? With our military is about to strike, curious if any chatter going on. Know our military will be encrypted but you never know.

Looked around to see if Venezuelan Flagship Airline "Conviasa"might have any "company" HF Aero frequencies, to no avail. Then I looked for public SDR's in the area, but no go. It seems that Puerto Rico is hosting some military ops; perhaps there is still some mil HF action rolling from there?
One notation was found for regional aero freqs for Maquetia: 3010,6643,8924,11345,17937,21976. No date was on the document, so good luck.
I am very dated on utility monitoring. My not-very-useful observation is that in the early years of this century, HF ALE op chatter was very easy to copy from the Venezuelan Navy. In 2008, I would leave my Icom R-75 scanning all night on those Venezuelan frequencies, kindly published in Monitoring Times. Even though HF scanning is problematic, I often auto-captured pages of comms from that service, on my computer/radio setup. I got a charge out of copying, once, the list of Naval Techs to report for the " Curso de Guerra Electronica". I wondered if "Ivan" was there, and what adversary the "boogie man" would be--as if we don't know.

Of course the best source for utility info for Venezuela - if any exists - would be the Utility DXers Forum (UDXF) on groups.io. I haven't see anything specific so far but who knows? There has been an uptick in HFGCS comms, if that were to be from the activity in Venezuela no one would be talking (of course)
