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 My list of HF freqs are poorly outdated, I think.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? |

My list of HF freqs are poorly outdated, I think. 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: http://www.hwn.org/home/faqs.html dxAce |

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: http://www.ominous-valve.com/hurricne.txt If you don't have a utility to import these freqs, whoo boy you've got some typing to do.... 73s and GL...Mike ScanMan wrote: 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.
