Hello to all..

SKYWARN Recognition Day 2014 (SRD’14) has been set for Saturday December 6th, 2014 from 0000-2400 UTC (Friday Evening December 5th, 2014 – 700 PM EST-Saturday Evening December 6th, 2014 – 700 PM EST). The VoIP Hurricane Prep Net for Saturday December 6th, 2014 will be at 700 PM EST immediately following SRD’14 activities.

As we have done for the last several years, the *WX_TALK* Echolink conference node: 7203/IRLP 9219 system will have a NWS Forecast Office act as a net control on the system and rotate among the various NWS Forecast Offices over the course of the event. Scheduling time slots to prior NWS Forecast Offices that have been on the system will be sent out later this month and then the request will be opened up to any new NWS forecast offices that would like a time slot as net control. There is also the possibility of D-STAR being utilized by some NWS forecast offices during SRD as well and we’ll coordinate with the D-STAR folks.

Further details on SRD’14 will be sent out over the coming weeks and months. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
