Hello All,

Many of you are hearing and reading about the current storm which is Hurricane
Irma. KB5HAV and the Hurricane Watch net are activated and he has been on top
of this situation. Please go to the hwn.org website for the Hurricane Watch Net
for further information. Please forward all reports you might have to the
Hurricane Watch Net which is on 14.325 mhz or 7.268 mhz depending on time of
day and propagation.

As of now, they are still not sure of the exact track. Certain tracks take it
toward the center of Florida while others take it just east of Florida. In any
case, Florida will be affected. Those of you in the Carolinas and Georgia keep
an eye on this track.

As you know we have many of our members reside in this state including myself.
With this being said, many of us will be preparing for the storm by lowering
towers and disassembling antennas until the storm passes. This will have
effects on our schedule. I will continue to post emails for shift openings as
long as power and Internet hold out.

Please try to keep abreast of the schedule and pick up whatever you can with
these anticipated openings.

Thanks for all that you do and stay safe,

Jeff Savasta, KB4JKL
Assistant Net Manager
Maritime Mobile Service Network
