The Hurricane Watch Net[1] (HWN), founded on Labor Day weekend 1965, is
celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025. The net, known for relaying surface
observations into the National Hurricane Center, is also seeking volunteers to
serve as net control operators.ÿ
Net Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, reports HWN is preparing for what could be,
yet again, an above-average hurricane season and that the net needs more
amateur radio operators to help.
"We are starting early this year in preparations and looking to add more net
control stations to our roster," said Graves. "We are looking for dedicated new
members willing to train to become net control operators (NCOs). While being
bilingual is not a requirement, being fluent in Spanish and English or
French/Creole and English is a plus."
If you are interested in training to become a net control operator for the
Hurricane Watch Net, please visit the net control information page,
