Where's the Hurricane net?

[Scanner-geek]

Is anyone listening to the hurricane net right now? I'm hearing nothing on 14.325 at 11pm in New York. Are they operating on a different freq tonight? Looking for any active Dean-related HF freqs for tonight. TIA.

I am listening as well and hear nothing.

The Maritime Mobile net operates on 14.300 and rebroadcast the bulletins from the Hurricane Watch Center as well.

Plenty of hurricane-related activity on a number of other HF freqs.....I've been enjoying flipping around the dial tonight:

.....I should point out that many Gulf-area HF freqs were busy earlier....looks like most folks have hit the sack by this point, though.

At 835 PM, Hurricane Dean has become a potentially catastrophic Category 5 Hurricane and is making its way towards the Coast of Mexico and Belize. The VoIP Hurricane Net will activate at 0400 UTC/12 AM EDT Tuesday as Dean is expected to landfall just north of the Belize/Mexico border early Tuesday Morning. The National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida Amateur Radio station, WX4NHC, will be active starting at 6 AM EDT/1000 UTC. Stations in the affected area or stations with relays into the affected area can give their reports on EchoLink *WX-TALK* Conference Node: 7203 and IRLP reflector 9219. The activation is expected to last through early Tuesday Evening.

The next activation after Tuesday is expected to be Wednesday Morning lasting through Wednesday Evening where Dean is expected to make landfall, potentially as a major hurricane, over mainland Southeast Mexico. Details on plans for Wednesday's activation will be posted based on Dean's progress through the day on Tuesday.

The VoIP Hurricane Net has obtained links into the affected area who will be relaying reports from their area and from other sources. XE2WCG-Carlos and XE2ZQ-Guillermo will be assisting in these efforts among others.

Please note that the track, speed and intensity of Dean could cause changes in activation plans. Updates will be posted whenever time allows.

We now have 2 streaming audio links working as a means to listen to the net thanks to Tony Langdon-VK3JED, VoIP Hurricane Net Technical Coordinator and log time net supporter Lu Vencl-KA4EPS. The information is listed below along with listen only EchoLink and IRLP systems.

When the storm gets interesting, the health and welfare traffic net, operated by SATERN will be active on 14.265. Propagation on the HWN has been crummy in the North East. Beam antennas, obviously, have been aimed at the Caribbean islands so anything we hear is off the back of the yagi. The 14.300 net has been spotty, even during the day. 20 Meters tends to be quiet that time of night anyway - although I've been making sone decent European contacts in rare occasions.

These days, 20 meters is dead at night. You're only likely to hear traffic during the day. Go to 40 or 75 meters at night for ham traffic.
