VoIP Hurricane Net Dean Activation Status Update #1
Hello to all….
At 11 PM EDT/0300 UTC, the Hurricane Dean VoIP Hurricane Dean activation was secured for Jamaica. A new activation will be started informally on Monday at 6 AM EDT/1000 UTC and formally start at 8 AM EDT/1200 UTC and could potentially last into early afternoon as Dean makes his closest approach to the Cayman Islands. Stations in the affected area or stations with relays into the affected area can give their reports on EchoLink *WX-TALK* Conference Node: 7203 and IRLP reflector 9219.
The next activation after Monday is expected early Tuesday Morning lasting through Tuesday Evening as Dean is expected to make landfall somewhere on the Yucatan Peninsula and sustain hurricane conditions on both the east and west sides of the Yucatan. The final activation for Dean should take place Wednesday as its expected that Dean will make landfall in the Southeast part of mainland Mexico. WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida, will be active across much of these timeframes per coordination with Julio Ripoll-WD4R, Assistant WX4NHC Coordinator.
The VoIP Hurricane Net has obtained links into the affected area who will be relaying reports from their area and from other sources. XE2WCG-Carlos and XE2ZQ-Guillermo will be assisting in these efforts.
Please note that the track, speed and intensity of Dean could cause changes in activation plans. Updates will be posted whenever time allows.
We now have 2 streaming audio links working as a means to listen to the net thanks to Tony Langdon-VK3JED, VoIP Hurricane Net Technical Coordinator and log time net supporter Lu Vencl-KA4EPS. The information is listed below along with listen only EchoLink and IRLP systems.
