USCG Astoria Using UHF

I recently caught one of the US Coast Guard helicopters out of Astoria, Oregon using 412.9750 MHz, N293 for position and ops normal traffic. This is the first time I've encountered the Astoria helos using the new USCG UHF nets. In this case, 412.9750 MHz has been identified as NET 409.
