Utility / Re: Titan Submersible - Any Coast Guard HF Rescue Ops?

« on: June 21, 2023, 1555 UTC »

Hi Ken,

I have been monitoring as well with no great success on HF. My suspicion is that comms may be centred on the use of the VHF and UHF bands since the efforts are fairly localized and also involve commercial assets.

There is a current list of frequencies at The RadioReference Wiki.
United States Coast Guard
https://wiki.radioreference.com/index.php/United_States_Coast_Guard

Unfortunately, time is now running very short for the crew and passengers of the Titan.
