Hurricane Nets Active on SSB for Ike (Sep 12, 2008) -- ARRL Contest Branch
Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X reminds all contesters to please be mindful of the
situation in Texas and the Gulf Coast region this weekend; Hurricane Ike is
currently slated to land near Houston early Saturday morning. "This weekend
is the ARRL September VHF QSO Party, Worked All Europe (SSB), the North
American SSB Sprint, the Arkansas QSO Party, as well as several other radio
events," Kutzko said. "Please keep in mind that there will be Net operations
going on in the upper portions of 80, 40 and 20 meters for the affected Gulf
Coast area in the path of Hurricane Ike. If you find yourself being asked to
change frequencies because you're on a Net for Hurricane Ike operations,
please cooperate. Do your part to keep Net operations free of interference
during this critical time."
