Hurricane Norbert and Amateur Radio Participation
Hello to all….
The following were comments from Julio Ripoll-WD4R, WX4NHC Assistant Coordinator on the efforts for Hurricane Norbert in the Eastern Pacific:
Please relay our sincere thanks to your respective team members that helped during Hurricane Norbert’s track through the southern Baja California peninsula of Mexico.
Although the participation of Mexican Hams form that area is very low, especially as the landfall area is sparsely populated, we did manage to maintain contact with Manuel XE2HUQ in Ciudad Constitucion, just north of the landfall area. Manuel had a weather station and gave us several measured reports during landfall.
We are also grateful for the relays and efforts made by other Mexican Hams, such as Rafael XE2RV and Carlos XE2WCG and others.
Herman, HR1CP was also very instrumental in relaying information from 40 meters.
We hope to increase more interest and activity from Mexico in future hurricanes and other natural disasters that can disrupt conventional communications.
We hope the Mexican Amateur Radio organization can promote and organize and strengthen their Amateur Radio emergency communication networks and increase their international participation.
Our international teams of Amateur Radio Operators are here; ready to help in their time of need.
73, Julio, WD4R
