Hurricane Lorenzo Activation Secured at 5 AM EDT/0900 UTC
Hello to all….
The VoIP Hurricane Net activation for Hurricane Lorenzo secured at 5 AM EDT/0900 UTC as Lorenzo weakened to a tropical storm. Lorenzo hit a fairly remote area of the Southwest Mexico coast. No reports were received from this area. John McHugh-K4AG, WX4NHC Coordinator, checked in on the net from home at 1145 PM EDT/0345 UTC to give his thanks for our efforts in being there to provide reports to WX4NHC as needed.
The net activation also served as a way to break in a few new net controls who monitored during the overnight hours and to test how quickly the net could be brought up if a tropical system became a hurricane quickly near a land area. Special thanks to Bill Aber-N2JAI from Cape May County SKYWARN for his efforts as well as the efforts of Jim Palmer-KB1KQW on monitoring the system and scheduling and to Tony Langdon-VK3JED for his overnight monitoring of the net as well.
The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team will continue to monitor Karen and any other potential developing tropical systems in the Atlantic. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
