As Florence (Flo?) is moving ever closer to the Carolinas, I decided to dig up Hugh Stegman's frequency list - admittedly a bit dated but it's as good a place to start as any...

You'll immediately notice the large number of ALE listings - there are many software packages that can copy this mode (also known as MIL-STD-188-144A, or sometimes just listed as 188-144 in the UDXF logs). This includes the popular MultiPSK, PC-ALE and a few others.
I would also not discount the MWARA frequencies as many flights will need to be diverted around the hurricanes (yes there are at least 3 others currently on the map)
MWARA - The RadioReference Wiki
The USCG SITOR-B broadcast schedules, as well as USCG New Orleans FAX should also be targets (Hugh, if you're reading this, I'm surprised you don't have these frequencies in your list). I wouldn't neglect the NAVTEX broadcasts on LW as well. From our Digital Decoding FAQ, here are the links - and you can find links for software to copy these also in the FAQ in our Software Decoders section...

Please post any additional potential targets here. I will sticky this thread until after the storm has passed.
I understand folks have been told to evacuate ahead of the storm - let's all hope for the best and be safe
