"The annual WX4NHC On-the-Air Station Test from the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami will take place Saturday, May 29, 1300-2100 UTC. “The purpose of this annual station test is to test all of our radio equipment, computers and antennas using as many modes and frequencies as possible,” said WX4NHC Assistant Amateur Radio Volunteer Coordinator Julio Ripoll, WD4R. “This is not a contest or simulated hurricane exercise.” Ripoll said that WX4NHC also will be testing new computers and software, as well as conducting operator training.
