Announcement from WX4NHC

Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center, Miami Florida

 

WX4NHC will be On-The-Air for the Annual Station Test Saturday, May 28th ,
2016 from 9AM- 5 PM EDT ( 1400z- 2200z) This will be our 36th year of public
service at NHC.

The purpose of this event is to test Amateur Radio Station equipment,
antennas and computers prior to this year's Hurricane Season, which starts
June 1st and runs through November 30th.

This event is good practice for Ham Radio Operators world-wide as well as
NWS Staff to become familiar with Amateur Radio communications available
during times of severe weather. 

 

We will be making brief contacts on many frequencies and modes, exchanging
signal reports and basic weather data exchange ("Sunny", or "Rain", etc.)
with any station in any location. 

 

WX4NHC will be On-The-Air on HF, VHF, UHF , 2 & 30 meter APRS and WinLink
wx4nhc at winlink.org subject must contain "//WL2K".

We will try to stay on the Hurricane Watch Net frequency 14.325 MHz most of
the time.

Due to space and equipment limitations, we will have 2 operators per shift,
we cannot be everywhere and every mode at the same time.

You may be able to find us on HF by using one of the DX Spotting Networks,
Such as the DX Summit Web Site: http://www.dxsummit.fi/Search.aspx 

 

We will also be on VoIP Hurricane Net 4pm-5pm EST (2100-2200z) (IRLP node
9219 / EchoLink WX-TALK Conference node 7203).

Florida VHF & UHF Repeaters will be contacted.

 

QSL Cards are available via WD4R. 

Please send your card with a S.A.S.E.

Please do NOT send QSLs directly to the Hurricane Center address, as it will
get delayed.

 

Due to security measures;

Please, NO VISITORS will be allowed entry to NHC without prior clearance
from NHC PIO and Security.

Only WX4NHC Operators on the pre-approved operating schedule will be allowed
entry.
