Kevin,
I thought you should know----- The Hurricane Francis NREN (National Radio Emergency Network) CW net has been activated and has been designated to use 14.050 Mhz !! The Hurricane net itself is on 14.325 USB. The SATERN (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network) is on 14.265 Mhz USB. You might want to re-think the ecn CW frequency for this weekend :-\ Dave KK7SS > From: Kevin Rock <[hidden email]> > Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Announcement > The Elecraft CW Net will be held tomorrow: > Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4pm PDT) 14050 kHz > Monday 0200z (Sunday 7pm PDT) 7045 kHz > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Didn't the FCC recently announce that no emergency -related frequencies
would be "protected" except the 60 meter channels? 73, George W5YR Fairview, TX [hidden email] http://www.w5yr.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave G." <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 9:53 AM Subject: [Elecraft] ECN net this Sunay VS Hurricane Frances > Kevin, > > I thought you should know----- > > The Hurricane Francis NREN (National Radio Emergency Network) > CW net has been activated and has been designated to use 14.050 > Mhz !! > The Hurricane net itself is on 14.325 USB. > The SATERN (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network) is > on 14.265 Mhz USB. > > You might want to re-think the ecn CW frequency for this weekend _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

It sounded like a polite request to me...I think the FCC allows polite
requests on all bands except 75 meters ;-).

Howdy Folks,
The Elecraft CW Net will be moved down from its normal frequency due to Hurricane(?) Frances. I am unsure whether Frances is still a hurricane or not since it has been downgraded so many times over the last few days. I know there is a stiff wind still associated with it but mosly tons of rain. Luckily Hurricane Howard is now just a tropical depression and is now longer effecting our weather in Oregon. It is warming back up again so I can do my antenna work and get ready for winter which is just around the corner. Sunny and warm today as we clean the stove and chimney. The wood cutting, splitting, collecting, and stacking is about half done. It looks like the Southern US and the Antilles are due for another much stronger storm in Hurricane Ivan. It is setting records for the highest wind at the lowest latitude. I don't know when it will come into the US waters but it looks like it will be bigger than Charlie, Howard, or Frances. http://www.weather.com/newscenter/tropical/ http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/EATL/VIS/20.jpg I will listen on 14050 kHz then move down until I find an open spot. Please scan down and you will find me or another NCS on ECN/1. 73, Kevin.

NREN has no "designated" frequencies beyond how the ECN has a "designated"
frequency. No FCC or ARRL announcement about 14,050 has been made declaring this an emergency communications frequency that should not be used for normal operations. NREN is a fairly new CW-only alternative to the common SSB and VHF emergency nets. Here's what the ARRL had to say in their announcement: "...(NREN)Net members have been asked to monitor 14,050 kHz and 7050 kHz for health-and-welfare, emergency traffic and hurricane information throughout the weekend..." Actually NREN members very often monitor those frequencies. That's where members call if they have traffic for any reason outside of regular net schedules. The announcement is merely a "heads up" that there's a better-than-normal chance that someone will have some heath and welfare messages to handle at odd times. I think it's a great program. It makes use of the fact that a low-powered CW station working on emergency power can set up and get on the air in the middle of a disaster area to send traffic across the country more efficiently than the complex repeater-based VHF nets or even most SSB installations. Of course, it takes greater operator skill than talking on a mic, but the advantages are significant if the operator is available. They have a web site with more info at http://tinyurl.com/7x5m2. So, it's a good idea to be courteous and avoid both 14,050 and 7,050 but don't be surprised if you hear nothing but routine QSO's there.
