As far as I am concerned, it is imperative that operators in the contest be
cognizant of the emergency ops taking place above 14.300, and should, frankly
consider avoiding that swath of 20 meters this weekend.
Just a reminder...stay away from the SATERN net on 14,265 kHz during the
hurricane.
This is from their web site:
SATERN (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network) provides emergency
communications support to the Salvation Army wherever needed on site, at the
local level, via VHF/UHF Nets. During wide-spread emergencies (hurricanes,
earthquakes, forest fires, etc.), the 14265 kHz Net becomes emergency traffic
and
H&W Net providing tactical assistance to those on site and handling outgoing
H&W messages. The 14265 kHz Net is generally on the air from 1200Z to
approximately 0100Z during times of wide-spread emergency. Check our web site
at
www.satern.org to determine the alert status of the SATERN Net.
