Most of the difference from #1 is that someone finally heard all the primary FEMA ALE frequencies, so they have been added. ALE soundings aren't the most exciting things ever heard on HF, but ALE is also often used to link up and initiate other comms. FEMA has some voice, and also uses a text mode that passes the messages as clear strings in the ALE exchanges.

In general, hurricane HF is not what it used to be, which is too bad. Once upon a time, aircraft would fly over soon as it was safe and tell the ground in some unaffected area what things looked like. Now, we just hear that Internet and cell phones stopped working and nobody knows what happened. I realize that the ionosphere was in a similar state over North America yesterday afternoon (Eastern time), but really, how often does that occur, let alone the same day as a major hurricane? Enough to get rid of HF? Didn't think so.

Generally, if a call to a station on COTHEN is answered (usually with an LQA), there will be subsequent voice comm like we used to hear on 5696 and 8983. PC-ALE loves to record these as soundings, so I use it to scan, and use MultiPSK to detect if it's something more interesting than that. MultiPSK will scan with an external program, but that program's radio library is mostly ham rigs.
Every frequency on this list was heard by somebody. Not exactly Mike Bettes standing in the eye wall, but there have been a few good comms.
