WX4MIA the Amateur Radio Station at the National Weather Service in Miami
will be commencing Net operations for the approach and passing of Hurricane
Charlie.
We will be taking local severe weather reports and relaying them to the
local forecasters at the NWS via the following repeaters and modes.
147.060 will be our primary net frequency. This repeater has Echolink on it
we ask that stations not in the area not connect directly to the repeater as
we will need it for local reports only.
147.760 will be our back up in case the primary goes down.
We will also be on IRLP. I may connect our local repeater to the 921
reflector on channel 3 if I can get permission to do so in time for
tomorrows nets. Stations in the NWS coverage area can connect to the
reflector as needed to relay report to the NWS. If this does not pan out
then we will connect directly with stations in the effected areas.
This repeater will be 442.250 the PARC Repeater.
This is WX4MIA's first test of the VOIP network. We hope all will go smooth.
We are not expecting a direct hit, but wind rain and severe weather can be
expected on the East coast and the Keys are expected to be hit.
