You are so correctly.

May 29, 2006 -- The National Hurricane Center's WX4NHC will conduct
its "Hurricane Season 2006 On-the-Air Station Test" Saturday, June 3,
from 1300 until 2200 UTC. The annual station test provides an
opportunity for WX4NHC to check out all of its radio equipment,
computers and antennas using as many modes and frequencies as
possible.

It's also a chance for RFI monitoring of NHC equipment and to conduct
some operator training. It is not a contest or simulated hurricane
exercise.

WX4NHC will operate on HF, VHF and UHF. Phone frequencies will be
7.268, 14.325, 21.325 and 28.525 MHz. CW frequencies will be 14.035,
21.035 and 28.035 MHz. PSK31 will be on 14.070 MHz.

Look for WX4NHC on the DX spotting networks as well. WX4NHC also will
be on the VoIP Hurricane Net (IRLP node 9508; EchoLink WX-TALK
Conference) from 1700 until 1900UTC. WX4NHC also will operate on South
Florida area VHF and UHF repeaters and on FM simplex.

When working WX4NHC, report your call sign, signal report, location,
name and a brief description of current weather conditions (eg,
"sunny," "rainy," "windy").

Nonhams may participate by submitting their actual weather conditions
using the On-Line Hurricane Report Form.

Has it occurred to you that they don't have the form turned on because the test
doesn't occur until Saturday, June 3 2006?

That occured to me, but that's not what it says. It says ''It will
be active only during hurricanes.''

Does it occur to you, based upon what the article says that they just might turn it
on on Saturday, since they're testing the system?
