WTOC update on the VMFA(AW)-224 F/A-18D crash earlier this week. What this story describes is pretty much what I heard from the VMFA-251 aircraft and 6542

VMFA(AW)-224 F/A-18D Crashes Offshore of SC
http://www2.wsav.com/sav/news/local/article/south_carolina_marines_recovering_after_fighter_jet_crash/105146/
I caught the tail end of the SAR after eating dinner and before going to Church this evening. At the time I wasn't sure if it was a fighter, but I knew that it was not a drill. 282.800, SAR Common was being used and 413.000, CG 410 was being used. There were also related comms on 313.800, VMFA-251 Base and 156.800, Marine VHF Ch. 16. F/A-18Cs from VMFA-251 and Coast Guard 6542 were working the SAR; as I walked in the room, the TBOLTs from VMFA-251 and 6542 were en route to MCAS Beaufort and Sector Charleston was broadcasting on Ch. 16 that two persons had been recovered.

Coast Guard Helicopter on NET Channel Using Digital Voice
Location: Savannah
This evening, I was listening to Coast Guard 6545 (MH-65C, Savannah) as it conducted hoist training with 25' boat 25732 in the Savannah River. 25732 requested that 6545 go to NET 113 (163.1375). 6545 then came up on NET 113, calling initially in analog voice before switching to digital voice.
This is the first time I've heard one of the Savannah MH-65s on the NET Channels and the first time I've heard one using Digital Voice. I'm guessing it is being done with a radio separate from the one used for Marine VHF because while they were using NET 113, they were also able to hear and to respond to Station Tybee on Marine VHF Ch. 21.

Coast Guard Rescue Near Darien

In another update on something I sent a Twitter post out about last night, this story is about the Rescue that RESCUE 6565 worked with Coast Guard Station Brunswick last night. Most of the mission, unfortunately, was out of my listening range.
