At this time, the VoIP Hurricane Net is not anticipating activation for Flossie’s impact on Hawaii since it is expected to remain at tropical storm strength and no request for activation of our net has been made. It is noted that there are a number of Echolink and IRLP nodes in Hawaii so if a hurricane were to impact Hawaii, the VoIP Hurricane Net would activate in support of gathering reports from Hawaii as required. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
