Well, as of now Hurricane Henri is about to pass within a town if not right over me.  I thought fellow Nutmeggers/Flatlanders/Swamp Yankees might want to know Hurricane Watch Net broadcast plans (frequencies 7268 lsb/14325 usb):

Take care!

Fred dropped rain here, but the "core" missed my immediate area.



I know it is a few minutes before the Hurricane Watch Net activates on 14325, but naturally, there are contesters operating currently on 14323.

Contesters still on 14323, and HWN already had to ask others to QSY off 14325. Are contests really so important as to basically QRM a hurricane net?! It is not like 20m even is crowded right now.

And here we go again,    http://www.arrl.org/news/hurricane-watch-net-calls-for-all-hands-on-deck-on-sunday    Lots of leftover expected to come in my direction.
“I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, wire telegraphy
is like a very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he
meows in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is
exactly the same, except that there is no cat.”
-Attributed to Albert Einstein, but I ripped it from the latest Splatter .PDF March 2025 issue.
