For monitoring, keep an ear on the common channels; 17,19 and 21. ZRT members will (or should) know to use their sector channel but the rest of the public will be using what they've heard in the media, on tv, etc and thats 19 with 17 and 21 used as alternates. Neighboring bases in diff sectors can agree on an alternat station or Ham frequency to communicate with each other while still monitoring their respective channels.
The purpose of having sector specific channels is to get the sectors off the heavy traffic channels to make it easier to communicate among those who already know who and where we are without having hundreds of other people on the same channel screaming "help me help me"
