10899 kHz FEMA ALE
From Bruce (BruceB on #wunclub) N0NHP
10899.0 Various-US Federal Emergency Management Agcy, 2033 UTC, many ALE soundings. (25 Nov 13)
Bruce includes a list of FEMA IDs heard. They are all the usual ones. FC8FEM002 was copied here on 2 December at 2026 UTC. Definitely a FEMA ALE frequency, and it has been added to the list.
