Atlantic Hurricane Season 2013

Greg Mossop G0DUB has reported on the IARU Region 1 site about amateur
radio involvement in the Atlantic Hurricane season which starts today.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season starts officially on 1st June and many
predictions indicate an above average number of storms this year.

Amateur Radio continues to play a part in gathering and distributing
information for the weather and emergency services each year and Radio
Amateurs in Region 1 are reminded that the following frequencies may
be in use by nets in North and Central America to track and deal with
the consequences of these severe weather events. It is possible for
Region 1 amateurs to cause unintentional QRM to these nets so please
listen carefully if operating near these frequencies:

Caribbean Emergency & Weather Nets: 7.162 & 3.815 MHz
Eastern Caribbean Narrow Band Emergency System Net: 7.036 MHz USB
(Olivia & MT63)
Caribbean Emergency: 14.185 MHz
Republica Dominicana: 7.065 & 3.780 MHz
Cuba: 7.045, 7.080, 7.110, and 3.740 MHz
Central America: 7.090 & 3.750 MHz
Nicaragua: 7.098 MHz
Guatemala: 7.075 MHz
Panama: 7.085 MHz
Mexico: 7.060 & 3.690 MHz

USA:
Maritime Mobile Service Net: 14.300 MHz
Hurricane Watch Net: 14.325 MHz
Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN): 14.265 MHz

Other local emergency communications groups may also activate if a
hurricane approaches their area and those frequencies would be
announced at the time.
