Hurricane comms?

[wayne burdick]

Hi all,

I heard an NPR interview with the city manager of a small town in the Florida panhandle this morning. He said that many nearby towns have zero communications right now, and he was “hoping to be heard” via radio. They’re pretty desperate. Cell towers and landlines are down. They can’t even communicate within emergency agencies.

Feel free to post info here on any HF or VHF nets that have been activated. Amateur radio could be the service of last resort for a few days.

The Hurricane Watch Net was active most of yesterday on 14325 and 7268. 
They were soliciting and passing weather observations from the area. 
Very well organized and directed nets.  I'm not hearing them this
morning on 20m but it may be propagation conditions.  See here for more:
