1640 local- Hearing NOAA 49 giving position reports about every 5 minutes on 121.50 "to all aircraft in the area", "flight level from the surface up to FL 440".
I'm assuming this is a NOAA hurricane hunter A/C since the storm is just passing off of NJ. Good signal here in CNJ, started fading after about 1700 hours.

Edit: found this a few hours later

Tech792, I heard him too. I did not get to listen long because a feeder line off a telephone pole across the street from me was being hit by a tree branch and sparking. The fire dept and utilities came out to fix that and most of my attention was on that.lol

Hmm...I didn't realize they did those broadcasts. NOAA2 ( P3, "Kermit" Hurricane Hunter Aircraft, N42RF) was off the coast of Yarmouth NS this morning (1015Z) circling in the eye of the storm at less than 10,000ft.
