Monitoring Hurricane Arthur

[SCPD]

Any body have any activity of HF regarding Hurricane Hunter aircraft or any active nets? I just turned the HF radios on so I will post what I catch over the next couple of days.

NOAA and TEAL flights are commencing several times a day. I don't think they use HF much these days as they rely on VHF/UHF Air and probably SATCOM. HF is probably only used for backup communications.

See the NOAA track here: NOAA49 live flight tracking - Plane Finder

Here's the NHC's Recon [Flight] Plan of the Day:

Just reported that 7268 LSB is active HAM frequency for watch net. Stations are a little weak here but not too bad.
