The VoIP Hurricane Net is supporting the NHC on the WX-Talk Conference, Node #7203 on EchoLink and IRLP Reflector 9219. IRLP Reflector 9553 is the backup. (Due to the limited number of routes to the Echolink node for mobile devices, monitor WX-Talk on a desktop computer if possible.)
The Voice over Internet Protocol Weather Net had a peak number of check-ins on October 7, with 82 stations connected to the Weather Talk Server onEchoLink and IRLP systems. Rob Macedo, KD1CY, reported that the net recorded between 50 and 100 reports ranging from flooding from heavy rainfall, storm surge, wind damage, wind speed, and rainfall amounts.
“This is one way the American Radio Relay League encouraged hams to serve during National Preparedness Month,” said Lloyd Colston, KC5FM, Public Affairs Officer for the VoIPWx Net.
