[TVARC] Fwd: ARLB034 Clear Frequencies Requested for Caribbean Hurricane "Iota" Emergency Traffic

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC’s MailList,

The ARRL is requesting that amateur radio operators avoid using several HF frequencies that various emergency nets are operating on to handle traffic from the areas in Central America being impacted by Hurricane Iota.  See the ARRL Bulletin (ARLB034) below for more details.

Stay safe from COVID-19.

73,
