[UDXF] USCG to discontinue 2 MHz‏

The following message was received during a Navtex broadcast last night.
 
I suspect there has been little activity on 2182/2187.5 in recent years,
so I'm not surprised  by the decision.  I had somehow thought the USCG
had stopped listening some years ago but that was apparently not the case.
 
ON 01 AUG 2013 THE U.S. COAST GUARD WILL TERMINATE
     RADIO GUARD OF THE INTERNATIONAL VOICE, DISTRESS,
     SAFETY AND CALLING FREQUENCY 2182 KHZ AND THE
     INTERNATIONAL DSC DISTRESS FREQUENCY 2187.5 KHZ.
     MARITIME INFORMATION AND WEATHER BROADCASTS ON
     2670 KHZ WILL TERMINATE CONCURRENTLY. WATCHKEEPING
     CONTINUES ON EXISTING VOICE AND DSC FREQUENCIES
     IN THE 4/6/8/12 MHZ BANDS AS DESCRIBED ON THE
     U.S. COAST GUARD NAVIGATION CENTER WEBSITE.

But what if Amelia and Fred finally get the transmitter working?
