As another powerful hurricane approaches Florida, many mutual aid organizations are doubtless bracing for impact and poised to help residents recover in the aftermath.

It is predicted that Hurricane Milton will make landfall in as little as a few hours from this post.

Given the rather large role that radio continues to play throughout recovery from Hurricane Helene, some might be interested in listening to the Hurricane Watch Net on the 20 and 40 meter bands.

The Net will Activate Tuesday at 5:00 PM EDT (2100 UTC) on
14.325.00 MHz (USB) and 7.268.00 MHz (LSB)

If you do not have an HF or shortwave radio, you can tune in via a web SDR.

If you do have an HF transceiver and you are not in an affected area, it is important that we LISTEN for information that could be useful to mutual aid disaster relief and recovery efforts.

Florida also has an interesting statewide linked repeater system called SARnet, which also has a Broadcastify stream.

We post this information in the sincere hope that it will be useful for those affected by these hurricanes, and at least educational for those who are not directly impacted.
