Our next net is on Saturday, June 6, 2015, at 8pm EDT, 7pm CDT,
6pm MDT, 5pm PDT/MST, 0000 UTC. And, also starting with the June 6
net, the net will be weekly through the end of November…with net
activations possible at any time.
It only takes one storm to make a season, as was the case with
Category 5 Hurricane Andrew back in 1992. The outlook from Colorado
State University is already out, and the outlook from NOAA and the
National Weather Service will be issued sometime in May.
With the weekly nets, and possible activations, we will need to
fill up the slots for Net Control Stations. Contact Rob, KD1CY,
via the website (noted below), for more information.
