Presentation for This Week’s VoIP Hurricane Net

Hello to all….

Given the quiet Hurricane Season of 2006 in the Atlantic, it has given the net management team some additional time to focus on initiatives that the net management team as put together and worked on for the past year. All of you have seen the efforts made in PR, Web Site reorganization, Net Control recruitment and solicitation of stations from the affected area of hurricanes to participate in our net. Another piece of that work is to do more presentations on the weekly net to generate interest.

Tony Langdon-VK3JED, our VoIP Hurricane Net Technical Coordinator, will be doing a presentation for this week’s net on the Australia High Fire Danger and Summer Weather given the El Nino pattern. Some of Australia’s worst fire weather comes from El Nino patterns. Tony will walk us through that scenario and the issues associated with it.

The Power Point presentation will be posted on the VoIP Hurricane Net web site prior to the net. The net will be recorded and archived on the web site.

This will be the first in a series of presentations that we hope to do roughly on a monthly basis. For December, a presentation may not be done because of planning of activities on VoIP for SKYWARN Recognition Day.

I hope many will check into the net this Saturday. Also, with daylight savings time, the time of the net will change locally as the net will remain at its time slot of 0000 UTC. A separate note will be put out on that fact shortly.

Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
