 The various organizations that assist the National Hurricane Center
(NHC) in Miami are gearing up for what forecasters are predicting to be
a very active storm season. One organization that assists the NHC is
the Hurricane Watch Net (HWN). One of the functions of HWN is to
provide on-the-ground, real-time weather data to the forecasters at the
NHC. The HWN gets this weather data from Amateur Radio operators who
volunteer their time to monitor data from their calibrated home weather
stations and report that data to the HWN. To better assist the NHC, HWN
Manager Kirk Harding, K6KAR, told the ARRL that the HWN is looking for
new members. Read more here
