Hurricane Frances
 

Getting ready for another one here, can someone please post some current
hurricane hunter frequencies, would like to try and monitor them in the next
few days as I track this storm. My list of HF freqs are poorly outdated, I
think.

And when does the Hurricane Watch Net activate usually? Is there a distance
from landfall point or is it when actual warnings are issued or what? When
do they decide to actually transmit?

The hurricane hunters seem to be using a satellite up-link these days for
sending back actual observations. They were heard making some phone patches
though on 13927, a MARS frequency, using a TEAL## callsign, during Hurricane
Charley.

And when does the Hurricane Watch Net activate usually? Is there a distance
from landfall point or is it when actual warnings are issued or what? When
do they decide to actually transmit?

The answer to that and other questions is on their FAQ:

Here also is a site where you can read the reports that are sent by the hurricane
hunter aircraft:

Don't have the freqs but this is a great
source of data----- www.hwn.org

The Hunters no longer use the list of freqs that has been floating
around for ages; they do patch sometimes on 13927USB and sometimes will
check in on the various MWARA nets.
You need to take a look at this list; it's quite up to date:

If you don't have a utility to import these freqs, whoo boy you've
got some typing to do....

Yeah I do - and thanks again! Good to have an updated list now:)
