Hurricane Watch Net Activates for Hermine

The Hurricane Watch Net has begun operations in preparation for the expected landfall of Tropical Storm (likely soon to be Hurricane) Hermine. According to Net Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, the net is operating on both 7.268 and 14.325 MHz, as propagation conditions on 20 meters are poor at this time. Please keep both frequencies clear for storm-related traffic and watch the CQ Newsroom and <http://hwn.org> for updates.

Hermine is currently expected to make landfall on the Gulf coast of northern Florida and then to head up the US east coast over the next several days.
