Halifax Nova Scotia high frequency weather and fax broadcast cease

Guess I somehow missed this announcement, but according to John Snyder on the Ocean Navigator Online website the Canadian Forces Metoc (Meteorology and Oceanography) Halifax ceased high frequency weather and fax broadcasts on Sept. 2, 2010. According to Senior Staff Officer Lt. Darryl Williams, “Canadian naval vessels are no longer using it because they receive weather information by other means. There are no plans to re-instate the HF weather and fax broadcast unless required for urgent military operational needs. The Canadian Coast Guard publication Radio Aids to Marine Navigation has been updated to reflect the status of the Canadian Forces Fleet Weather Broadcast.”

So the following frequencies CFH frequencies should no longer be active:

CALL SIGN FREQUENCIES TIMES EMISSION POWER
122.5 kHz ALL BROADCAST TIMES F3C 10 KW
4271 kHz ALL BROADCAST TIMES F3C 6 KW
6496.4 kHz ALL BROADCAST TIMES F3C 6 KW
10536 kHz ALL BROADCAST TIMES F3C 6 KW
13510 kHz ALL BROADCAST TIMES F3C 6 KW

GOES-12 Tracks Edouard

A GOES-12 infrared satellite image provided by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, Calif., showing the status of Tropical Storm Edouard at approximately 4:00 am EST. Edouard made landfall near Port Arthur, Texas, as a strong tropical storm with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph and higher gusts. It is moving west-northwest at 14 mph. The storm is expected to weaken as it continues into Texas. U.S. Navy photo (Released)
