Hurricane frequency list #1

With the approach of Irma, the strongest Atlantic Basin hurricane ever measured, activity has picked up on many frequencies clear into UHF, if not microwave.  Emergency activity should greatly increase as the US prepares for the storm, and contact is made with hard-hit Caribbean islands. Major evacuations are already starting, especially in the Florida Keys.

All this has contributed to a pretty decent hurricane frequency list. It gets longer daily.  Keep in mind that every frequency on here has been heard and verified to have hurricane activity, or at least ALE soundings by relevant stations, in Harvey and/or Irma.  It's still not the longest list around, but it's probably one of the best.

Hopefully solar flares that have disrupted HF will abate in coming days, as the responsible sunspot region rotates off the visible disk and becomes some other planet's problem.
