We encourage folks to watch the livestream as presenters go through the role of the Amatuer Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center, WX4NHC, the WX4NHC group’s role in the Haiti mission, an in-depth review of Amateur Radio’s role in the response to Hurricane Sandy and Hurricane Isaac and other topics as listed. The livestream will be archived on the web for those that cannot watch the livestream as it happens so they can be watched at a later time. Thanks to all for their support!
