In response to relief efforts following hurricane Iota’s landfall in the early morning hours of 17 NOV all amateur operators are requested to maintain clear frequencies on 7.180 MHz for Honduran emergency net operations (net control station – HR1JFA), and on 7.098 MHz for Nicaraguan emergency net operations.
Also, SATERN (The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Net) will operate on 14.264 MHz or 14.312 MHz 2000-2359Z TUE, WED, and THU (17,18, 19 NOV).
International Association Red Cross volunteers have been staged in Belize and will convoy to Honduras and Nicaragua later this week. Extended relief operations are expected during the next few weeks. Radio operators with the IARC will utilize 60 meters.
Update: KI4UWC secured from LEVEL 3 and returned to normal amateur use at 0900 12 NOV, 2020.
The ClayARES 146.925 MHz repeater will assume LEVEL 3 Monitoring Status at 2200EST 11 NOV 2020 (0300Z 12 NOV 2020). There are no plans to activate a net, however a net will be called should conditions dictate.
All stations are encouraged to monitor the Sleepy Hollow repeater and report conditions as warranted. As always, DO NOT transmit information or conditions that are not verified. Avoid suppositions, conjecture, and editorializing on news or other reports.
Also, SKYWARN has not been activated. If you have observed conditions to report to the National Weather Service in Jacksonville please report it at https://www.weather.gov/jax/submitstormreport. If the internet is not accessible, please feel free to pass that information on air.
This is a very good representation of what ARES is about. It features our AEC, Joe Bassett, W1WCN.
