ARLX007 Take Part in the Annual On-The-Air Station Test from WX4NHC 
at the National Hurricane Center 

The annual WX4NHC On-the-Air Station Test from the National 
Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami will take place Saturday, June 2, 
1300-2100 UTC (9 AM - 5 PM EDT). "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 in preparation for 
this year's hurricane season," said WX4NHC Assistant Amateur Radio 
Volunteer Coordinator Julio Ripoll, WD4R. "This is not a contest or 
simulated hurricane exercise." 

WX4NHC will be on the air on HF, VHF and UHF, plus 2 and 30 meter 
APRS. Suggested SSB frequencies are 3.950, 7.268, 14.325, 21.325 and 
28.525 MHz, +/-QRM. Ripoll said that WX4NHC will mostly be on 14.325 
MHz, but will make announcements when the station changes 
frequencies. WX4NHC also will be on the VoIP Hurricane Net 1700-1900 
UTC (IRLP node 9219/EchoLink WX-TALK conference node 7203) and on 
South Florida area VHF/UHF repeaters and simplex. Stations looking 
to participate in the annual station test may be able WX4NHC on HF 
by using one of the DX spotting networks, such as the DX Summit 
website. 

Stations working WX4NHC exchange call sign, signal report, location 
and name, plus a brief weather report, such as "sunny," "rain" or 
"cloudy." Non-hams may submit their actual weather using the Online 
Hurricane Report Form at, 
http://www2.fiu.edu/orgs/w4ehw/WX-form1.html. QSL cards will be 
available. QSL via WD4R and include a self-addressed, stamped 
envelope. Do not send cards to the NHC. Due to security measures, no 
visitors will be allowed at NHC during the test. 

The 2012 Atlantic hurricane season began Friday, June 1 and goes 
through November 30. According to the NHC, forecasters are calling 
for a "near-average" hurricane season this year.
