[PPRAANet] Which HF frequencies are used for hurricane nets?

[w0xld at w0xld.com]

Hello hams,

One of my Elmers is involved with the hurricane nets as Hurricane 
Melissa rips through the Caribbean, destroying communications 
infrastructure on islands in her path. I asked him, "where should hams 
go, for example prior to doing a POTA activation or participating in a 
contest, to read what frequencies they should avoid, to leave them clear 
for hurricane nets and emergency operations?"

He answered: "arrl.org." Sure enough, I checked out the front page of 
their website and they have an article called "Hurricane Melissa 
Update," which is being kept updated (most recently just a few hours 
ago). The article advises that the frequencies to steer clear of are 
14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz.

So, there we go: the ARRL is doing a good job living up to its middle 
name(s) and facilitating "Radio Relay" operations during these 
emergencies. Let's wish the best for those in the path of Hurricane 
Melissa, and help out when we can.

Stay safe, all!
