[TVARC] ARRL eNewsletter: Hurricane Delta Prompts Net Activations

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC’s MailList (particularly those interested in Emergency Communications),

According to “The ARRL Letter for October 8, 2020,” several emergency, amateur radio nets are activating as Hurricane Delta approaches landfall in Louisiana.  You can read this ARRL e-newsletter by going to: http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter?issue=2020-10-08/.

Here’s a synopsis of those net activations (excepted from that ARRL e-newsletter):

The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN <http://www.hwn.org/>), WX4NHC <http://www.wx4nhc.org/> at the National Hurricane Center (NHC <http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/>), The Salvation Army's SATERN <http://www.satern.org/>, and the Louisiana Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) HF Net -- with support from the ARRL Delta Division and the Arkansas Section -- announced activations for Hurricane Delta.  HWN has activated on 14.325 MHz and WX4NHC monitors the same frequency.

FEMA has announced that Channels 1 and 2 of the 60-meter (5-MHz) band will be available, as necessary, starting on October 9, for interoperability between US Government stations and US amateur radio stations involved in Hurricane Delta emergency communication. … Stations should yield to operational traffic related to Hurricane Delta.

Louisiana ARES HF Net plans to activate at mid-day on Friday on 7.255 MHz ±10 kHz during daylight hours and on 3.878 MHz (±3 kHz) at night.

HWN resumes operations on Friday at 1200 UTC on 14.325 MHz.

The International SATERN SSB Net (14.265 MHz, alternate 14.312 MHz) and the Southern Territory SATERN SSB Net (7.265 MHz) plan to activate Thursday through Saturday.


Stay safe from COVID-19.

73,
