Someone pushed the wrong button, they should be down around 6339 kHz right now.

They QSY'd back to 6340 at 2220z. I guess they saw my email  ;D

Thanks for the ID. I was copying the charts with fldigi
but never could get an ID. Google was of no help either
since they were on the wrong freq.

A friend helped USCG out a few years back in a similar way and got a nice wooden wall plaque with the USCG insignia on it as a memento, wonder if they do that today.
