Hello ...
In cooperation with the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida, and
WX4NHC, we are asking for your assistance in the 2009 Hurricane Season.
The most important role amateur radio plays in hurricanes is to gather and
relay information to the National Hurricane Center through WX4NHC.
While there are mechanisms to do this, we are always looking for more
assistance in this vital job. You could be the only station in the
impacted area and your Eye Witness Reports or measured data, if you have a
weather station, could be critical to the forecasters. You could be the
only station hearing some other ham calling with a report or needing
assistance in a dangerous situation they are in. Also, you could play the
important role in translating a Ham's report into a language that we
understand. So as you can see, everyone has a part they can play.
WX4NHC on 14.325 MHz is a frequency that you should always monitor during
a hurricane. More information can be found at www.wx4nhc.org This
frequency is maintained for hurricanes by the Hurricane Watch Net
www.hwn.org
The VoIP Hurricane Net utilizes Echolink and IRLP to link stations
together over the internet. When HF propagation is not good, sometimes
this is the only way information reaches WX4NHC. EchoLink Conference Room
is WX-Talk (Node 7203) and IRLP Node is 9219. More information can be
found at www.voipwx.net
We ask you for your support and assistance anytime the Hurricane Watch
Net, VoIP
2009 Hurricane Season Assistance Pßgina 2 Hurricane Net, and WX4NHC are
active. The part you may play may save someone's life!
