Important Notice: Emergency Frequencies — Keep Clear During Contest Weekend
As the Caribbean faces potential hurricane impacts, IARU Region 2 has 
activated emergency nets on the following frequencies:

40 meters: 7.198 MHz and 7.098 MHz

20 meters: 14.198 MHz

If the Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) activates, they will be operating on:

14.325 MHz

7.268 MHz

The amateur radio station at the National Hurricane Center, WX4NHC, will 
also be monitoring the HWN frequencies for real-time weather and 
situation reports.

This weekend coincides with the CQ World Wide SSB Contest, one of the 
busiest times on the bands. All operators are urged to exercise extra 
vigilance and avoid transmitting on or near these emergency and 
hurricane watch frequencies.

These nets are providing critical communication links supporting the 
Caribbean Islands and affected regions. Please ensure they have clear 
and reliable access to designated frequencies.

In summary:

Keep clear of 7.198, 7.098, 7.268, 14.198, and 14.325 MHz

Be aware of possible emergency or health-and-welfare traffic on nearby 
frequencies

Operate responsibly and help maintain open frequencies for those 
supporting hurricane response efforts.
