Hurricane Net BM 3199 activated

[w2xq]

Sunday, September 1: The Brandmeister 3199 talkgroup, labeled Hurricane Net, has been activated for Dorian. I'm hearing periodic announcements but no traffic yet. As i write this, the eye is approaching the Bahamas and is forecasted to curve northeast and be off the North Carolina coast on Friday.

Thanks for that, w2xq, I have the hf radios up and running for the Hurricane Watch Net on 14325 and 7268. Heard some voice traffic giving storm coordinates last night on 3455 (Caribbean) Just watched a vid from NOAA and the eye looks very tight.

… this looks to be a bad storm.​

Yeah I've had 3199 on for a few hours in the background and haven't heard anything on there, either.

Patuence. There isn't any significant traffic on 3199 at the moment. I hear chitchst between net controls every hour or so. I don't expect much activity until the hurricane--over Grand Bahama now, miving at 1 mph--nears the USA coast. That will be quite a while. The VoIP Hurricane Net – VoIP Hurricane Net has alternative ways to listen thst won't tie up your DMR radio. I use an Echolink feed.

Hoseline is often foobar. See my previous post for alternstives.

Monitoring from anywhere outside the affected area probably will not be easy, or even possible in some areas. Repeater operators are trending toward making just about anything PTT only and configuring only "locally useful" talkgroups. The days of monitoring or participating in far away conversations via DMR are just about over.

The QuadNet Array consists of the following:

D-STAR Reflectors XRF757A, XRF735A, XLX307D and XLX049D
D-STAR Smart Groups DSTAR1, DSTAR2, DSTAR3 and DSTAR4
Brandmeister DMR Talkgroup 31012
DMR Plus reflector 4541 (on any IPSC2 server)
DMR Plus talkgroup 320 (on the IPSC2-QuadNet Server)
