The Hurricane Watch Net Information on Hurricane Felix

The Hurricane Watch Net provides communications to and from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida during times of hurricane emergencies. The net (a gathering of amateur radio operators missioned to support the National Hurricane Center) convenes as an organized network of emergency communicators on the frequency of 14.325 Mhz when a hurricane is forecast to be within 300 statute miles from landfall on any inhabited land mass in the Caribbean Sea, Central America, and U.S. Mainland including the Gulf of Mexico coastal areas.

Current plans for Hurricane Felix are to activate on Monday, September, 3, 2007 at 1700 EDT/2100 UTC to begin listing reporting stations in the projected path of Hurricane Felix. Click Here for current path prediction. The net will activate again on Tuesday, September 4, 2007 at 0800 EDT/1200 UTC for normal net operations. These time are subject to change according to current conditions and forecasts.

It is requested that you monitor the status of tropical storm activity through information presented here in our web site, and as any storm comes within 300 miles of forecast landfall, you should return to this page for an update on activation plans for the Hurricane Watch Net.

Please remember to visit this page frequently for the latest information.
