Buck: You can receive voice broadcasts about the GS from NMN (USCG, Portsmouth, VA.). In particular, they give you info on the "west wall" and any eddies. The GS info is provided at the end of the weather broadcasts which begin at 1600 and 2200 GMT on frequencies of: 6501, 8764, and 13089kHz daily. You need a SSB radio receiver to pick up "Perfect Paul"(synthesized) broadcasts. Take along a small portable tape recorder and record the whole session. Then play back to catch the info you want. If your vessel has a HF weatherfax receiver, GS info is broadcast by NAM (Navy, Norfolk, VA.)daily at 0300 GMT on 3357, 8080, and 10865 kHz. It's in the form of a facsimile GS analysis chart.
