Any suggestion for Eastern Pacific hurricanes like Hurricane Norbert - was wondering if NOAA would have an HF presence as they do in the Gulf Coast/Western Atlantic.

Good question. I keep on hearing in the media when they report on Pacific storms that 'hunters' are flying into them, so I would assume they make a refueling stop somewhere along the line.
Anyway I'd watch 13927USB (MARS freq) for phone patches, and make some occasional checks on the HF-GCS system. HF isn't a primary for the hunters - they will use SATCOM more, and I think they use HF as a backup. A check of the UDXF Yahoo group might turn up where they were heard with the last couple of hurricanes on the East Coast.
I would also keep an ear on the PAC group of MWARA freqs - diverting aircraft around these storms can sometimes be entertaining to listen to....73 Mike

updates and better freqs are, of course, always welcome

Maritime HF may be worth monitoring for Hurricane reports.
Last time I checked the Amigo Net is on 8122 KHz (mornings) and the Southbound net on 6516 KHz (evening). These should be heard quite well in the Western USA.
This page has a good listing for Mexico cruising nets: http://www.docksideradio.com/west_coast.htm

Great site, Brandon. I had completely forgotten about that one. That's one that should go to the Utility wiki, for sure. 73 Mike
