Nice news story. QRZ says Lee Paulet is AA1NW. From the video, he’s on 7.251.

Just got this update in my ARRL Letter. Key points:

• The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) resumed operations Wednesday morning 
and will remain active until further notice on 14.325.00 MHz and 7.268.00 MHz. 
• WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio at the National Hurricane Center, is active 
to receive observed weather information and data via Amateur Radio to aid 
forecasters. 
• The VoIP Hurricane Net activated this morning to support 
communication with the National Hurricane Center.
• The Southern Territory Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network 
(SATERN) will remain active until 9 PM ET on Wednesday and will reactivate on 
Thursday, if necessary. The net will handle emergency, priority, and 
health-and-welfare traffic from impacted areas, provide ground-truth 
information from Amateur Radio stations and other sources in the impacted areas 
for forwarding to Salvation Army leadership. SATERN has been requested to 
provide Amateur Radio operators for Pensacola, Panama City, Tallahassee, and 
Tampa, as well as two to three local units in Georgia, and Divisional 
Headquarters in Atlanta. 
• The ARRL North Florida and West Central Florida sections are 
assisting SATERN with additional operators in Pensacola, Panama City, 
Tallahassee, and Tampa. North Florida Section ARES is at Level 1 (full) 
activation.

The Hurricane Watch Net was active most of yesterday on 14325 and 7268.  
They were soliciting and passing weather observations from the area.  
Very well organized and directed nets.  I'm not hearing them this 
morning on 20m but it may be propagation conditions.  See here for more:

[Elecraft] Hurricane comms?

2018-10-11 Thread Wayne Burdick 
Hi all,

I heard an NPR interview with the city manager of a small town in the Florida 
panhandle this morning. He said that many nearby towns have zero communications 
right now, and he was “hoping to be heard” via radio. They’re pretty desperate. 
Cell towers and landlines are down. They can’t even communicate within 
emergency agencies. 

Feel free to post info here on any HF or VHF nets that have been activated. 
Amateur radio could be the service of last resort for a few days.
