The following information is from the Hurricane Watch Net:

The Hurricane Watch Net willÿbe activated today,ÿTuesday, as planned, with one
minor update. After further review of the timing of the storm and the distance
from land, we need to modify our plans. All will remain the same with the
exception that we will now operate overnight

Activation Plans:

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ20 meters:ÿ14.325 MHz (USB) at 2:00 PM EST (1900 UTC) until at least
12:00 AM EST (0500 UTC).

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ40 meters:ÿ7.268 MHz (LSB) 7:00 PM EST (0000 UTC).ÿWe will remain
active on this frequency throughout the day and overnight for as long as
propagation allows. If propagation allows us to operate all night, we will
suspend operations at 7:30 AM EST Wednesday to allow the Waterway Net to
conduct their daily Net.

Wednesday, November 6, 2024

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ20 meters:ÿ14.325 MHz (USB) at 8:00 AM EST (1300 UTC) until at least
10:00 PM EST (0300 UTC).

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ40 meters:ÿ7.268 MHz (LSB) 7:00 PM EST (0000 UTC) until at least 10:00

Other Nets that will be in operation are as follows:

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿWX4NHC will be On-The-Air on the Hurricane Watch Net frequency 14.325
MHz most of the time and 7.268 MHz depending on propagation.

úÿÿÿÿÿÿÿWX4NHC will be on VoIP Hurricane Net (IRLP node 9219 / EchoLink WX-TALK
Conference node 7203).ÿhttp://www.voipwx.net/[1]


WX4NHC will be monitoring WinLink and Online reports.ÿWX4NHC@winlink.org[2]ÿ

use //WL2K in email subjectÿ

As always, any change to this plan will be posted on our website,
www.hwn.org[3], and our social media pages.

To all official agencies such as Emergency Operations Centers, Red Cross
officials, and Storm Shelters in the affected area, we are available to provide
backup communications. We also collect and forward significant damage
assessment data to government and non-government officials requesting such.

We greatly appreciate the daily users and various nets who use 14.325.00 MHz
and 7.268.00 MHz for allowing us a clear frequency. It certainly makes our job
easier and I know those in the affected area appreciate it as well.
