Definitely miss BK on openmhz. Low volume on Broadcastify is, as mentioned, almost unreadable and frustrating as well. Citizen app radio spurts give initial insight on BK runs at least.

Coast Guard Actively Searching for One Person After Five Recovered from Sinking Boat Southeast of Breezy Point
NEW YORK — The U.S. Coast Guard is searching for one person missing in the water approximately fives miles southeast of Breezy Point after five people were recovered from a sinking boat on Sunday afternoon.
Four of the five rescued were unresponsive. Coast Guard rescue crews and assisting agencies, including the Sandy Hook Pilots and the New York Police Department Aviation Unit, recovered and transported the five individuals, with two airlifted to Staten Island University Hospital and three taken to Coast Guard Station Sandy Hook where emergency medical services were waiting. Coast Guard crews administered CPR to some of the unresponsive victims.
The incident began at 12:04 p.m. when Coast Guard Sector New York received a notification from New York City 911 operators about a vessel taking on water near Breezy Point, a neighborhood at the tip of Queens’ Rockaway peninsula. Coast Guard watchstanders issued an urgent marine information broadcast and deployed three rescue boats from Coast Guard Station New York and Station Sandy Hook and an MH-65 helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Atlantic City. NYPD, FDNY, and New Jersey State Police crews are assisting in the multi-agency response.

Search was suspended for last victim. Altogether almost 850 square miles of water have been searched over 30 hours. Tragic.

There was a box out today (maybe noon time) for a floater in the water at Midland Beach, B-21 reported a 10-37 code 1, not sure if it's related.

According to SOC relocation policy, they don't relocate squads to rescues anymore, and I can't seem them relocating any other unit to R5.RIP and prayers to the first responders out in the water during this operation. This is as close to open water as it gets (it is).
Was R5 given a relocating company such as a SQ? To be ferried this far out on a marine unit leaves SI and south BK without a Rescue, especially with R2 at the AH in the 33.
