The ARRL has requested that we please keep 7.060 MHz clear as  it is being 
used for communications related to the huge  hurricane approaching Mexico.
 
Mexico's  Pacific coast is in the crosshairs of Hurricane Patricia, which 
became the most  powerful tropical cyclone ever measured in the Western 
Hemisphere on Friday  morning as its maximum sustained winds reached an 
unprecedented 200 mph (320  kph).  
The  hurricane is forecast to make landfall in the Mexican state of Jalisco 
Friday  evening as a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane capable of causing 
widespread  destruction. Residents and authorities in Mexico are rushing to 
prepare for what  will likely be the strongest hurricane to ever make 
landfall on that country's  Pacific coastline.
