We wish to thank Carlos-XE2WCG for his help and support during this hurricane. We would also like to acknowledge that Hurricane Watch Net Manager Bobby Graves-KB5HAV was also monitoring the *WX_TALK* Echolink conference node: 7203/IRLP 9219 network and got a chance to talk with XE2WCG-Carlos as they had worked together in the past in the early 2000s on hurricanes. I’d also like to thank W9LW-Jay Farlow who came up on the network to monitor and to K3WRY-Joe Palsa for his offer to assist on short notice for NCO duties.

We are entering the more active portion of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. The VoIP Hurricane Net Management team will be monitoring the progress of any potential systems throughout the season. Thanks to all for their continued support of the VoIP Hurricane Net!
