Start of 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season – VoIP Hurricane Prep Net Shifts to Weekly Saturday Nets & A Couple Prior Reminders
Hello to all..
Sunday June 1st, 2025 marks the start of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. The 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season is expected to be an above normal season per the NOAA/National Hurricane Center and Colorado State University outlooks among others. To mark the start of Atlantic Hurricane Season, the National Hurricane Center/Tropical Prediction Center in Miami FL will issue advisories on named systems, Tropical Storm and Hurricane Watches and Warnings when a system threatens a land area, Tropical Cyclone Updates on named systems and Tropical Weather Outlooks for potential areas of tropical cyclone development. Their suite of products and tropical system names are listed in their first couple of tropical weather outlooks and the link from 8 AM EDT – Sunday June 1st, 2025 Tropical Weather Outlook is listed below:
The VoIP Hurricane Prep Net has shifted to weekly beginning with the Saturday June 7th, 2025 Net at 8 PM EDT/7 PM CDT/0000 UTC. We welcome all those who wish to participate in the net and we are looking for net controls both for the weekly net as well as net activations for landfalling hurricanes. If you are interested, contact Rob-KD1CY at kd1cy@voipwx.net for more information.
We also like to remind folks of a couple prior special announcements including that the founder and coordinator of WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the National Hurricane Center was recognized by the national Amateur Radio Convention known as Dayton Hamvention for his 45 years of continuous service. Also note that the Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) will be holding a special event on Amateur Radio HF on Saturday 6/7/25-Sunday 6/8/25 to celebrate their 60th Anniversary. Those announcements are listed below:
