Hurricane Charley

I am listening to the Hurrican net on 14.325 USB.

This sounds like a bad one. I hope the 3 guys are doing OK. BigBry too!

Health and Welfare is on 14.265 USB

This is being run by SATERN (Salvation Army) and they are having problems with intentional interference. I can't believe some HAMS are this ignorant.

BTW, For those who don't know.....A net is a group of Ham Radio Operators who band together and pass information back to NET Control. Right now as we speak there are folks who are driving around, looking around reporting wind speed, location, flooding etc. to some other guy who reports to the authorities.

I am sure that they are trained storm chasers but in this instance they are providing storm and damage info for the National Weather Service and Emergency Services.

I am sure Sam, The Two Daves and BigBry live in or very close to the affected area.

I have a brother that lives in Lakeland, about 20 or 30 miles east of Tampa. Hope everything is going to be okay.

No prob. I don't think they got a bunch of damage but if your worried and can't get through on the phone, call the Salvation Army and they will send an Amateur Radio Operator to check on him.

Thanks Steve, Mama is talking to him right now. He said it wasn't that bad yet, but doesn't know what looks ahead.

It is past Lakeland and back out to sea again. The next landfall..........The Carolinas.

Hey Duffy.............Remeber Agnes? Charlie is gonna follow the same path. I was in Wilkes-Barre when Agnes hit. Those were scary days. I have been a weather buff ever since.
