The following is from Hurricane Watch Net Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV:
HWN will activate today at 5:00 PM EDT (2100 UTC) on 14.325.00 MHz and
continue on this frequency until we lose propagation. We will startup on 7.268.00 MHz at 8:00 PM EDT (0000 UTC) and remain active until we lose propagation. Looking ahead to the final landfall, unless something
drastically changes, we will plan to activate Friday afternoon using the
same start times. As with any Net Activation, we welcome your observed ground-truth data from those in the affected area. The information
forecasters at the National Hurricane Center need includes Wind Speed, Wind Gust, Wind Direction, Barometric Pressure – if available, Rainfall, Damage, and Storm Surge. Measured weather data is always appreciated but we do
accept estimated. We are also available to provide backup communications
to official agencies such as Emergency Operations Centers, Red Cross
officials, and Storm Shelters in the affected area. We also collect and
forward significant damage assessment data to FEMA officials stationed in
the National Hurricane Center.
