Thank you for your interest in the Hurricane Watch Net
Since your offering lies in providing relay assistance as needed, or to respond with observed or measured weather information when a hurricane threatens your area, we welcome that assistance. Note that it is not necessary nor is it our practice
to require net membership for either of those roles. We do encourage your support however, and we thank you for offering your services.
As an effort to maximize your effectiveness, let us offer just a couple of simple points, as follows:
When available to provide relay assistance during our net operations, we ask that you please respond only when our net control station has made a specific request for assistance from outside our own membership.
When available to report observed or measured weather conditions when a storm threatens your area, we ask that you review and become familiar with this reporting form provided
by the National Hurricane Center. Note that it lists only the elements of interest, the format desired in the report, and the basic order of reported information they are looking for. Your assistance to follow the guidance on that
form will be greatly appreciated by all.
As a reminder, you need not be a member of HWN to participate as a reporting station or to provide relay assistance when requested. We encourage and request your support as the situation dictates. Thank you for letting us know of your
interest in the Hurricane Watch Net.
Sincerely,
Dave Lefavour, W7GOX
Manager
