[FedCom] New USCG Operating Frequency in Savannah, GA

[Larry Van Horn]

Nice catch Mac. Wonder if  the PL tone was 156.7 Hz?

Based on new information 167.0875 MHz is suppose to be a new nationwide USCG 
assignment for the mission you have IDed. I have seen it listed as LE 
Charlie.

73 and Good hunting,

Jefe
