VoIP Hurricane Net Secured at 11 PM ET as Kyle Becomes Extratropical
Hello to all….
The VoIP Hurricane Net secured at 11 PM ET Sunday Evening as Hurricane Kyle weakened to an extratropical storm at that time. We received extremely detailed and excellent reporting from the Canadian Amateur Radio Operators of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia Canada which included wind gust measurements well into hurricane force in Lockeport, Nova Scotia. These reports were of tremendous use to WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center, and hurricane specialists were extremely interested in the reports and specific details on the weather station type, location of the station and how it was setup.
Damage and power outage information was also passed along by Amateur Radio Operators in the affected area of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. This info was also of use to NHC forecasters. A complete list of reports can be seen in the VoIP Hurricane Net Report Viewer off of the VoIPWXNet web site and can be seen via the following link:

The reports are records 411 to 427 in the report viewer. Some are listed as NHC Comms Test and will be corrected at a later time to reflect reports from Hurricane Kyle.
We extend a huge thank you to the Amateurs of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Canada who answered the request for reporting and did an outstanding job. Many of these folks are invovled in their local Amateur Radio Clubs, the Radio Amateurs of Canada and various Canadian EMCOMM organizations as well as individual Amateurs who received the call for needing reports and gave that information to us. We encourage those folks to check into our routine prep nets on Saturday Evening at 8 PM EDT/0000 UTC. We’d also like to extend thanks to all the net controls who supported this short but extremely effective net activation. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
