HRN 537: Helene Follow-up 🌀
While Hurricane Milton has more recently crossed the state of Florida, we don’t have any Ham Radio information from there yet. Meanwhile, activity in western North Carolina continues daily in recovery from Hurricane Helene.

Steve McAtee N0JJO recently returned from several days deployed in the area and joins David W0DHG and Gary K4AAQ to relate his experience.

HRN Extra – Helene Recovery News Clip

HRN Extra - Helene Recovery News Clip

Here’s a story from Charlotte NC TV station WCNC. Dan Girto K2DMG has been on the air on the Mt. Mitchell 145.19 repeater, directing traffic every day since last Saturday. it’s not an ‘official’ ARES net. It’s very ad-hoc, but the Mt. Mitchell repeater, on the highest peak east of the Mississippi, has wide coverage across western North Carolina, so many hams and agencies are aware of the service it’s providing. And it’s being temporarily live-streamed on Broadcastify

Hurricane Helene devistated parts of Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina. We’re hoping to have some guests from ARES/Skywarn groups join us to update the ham radio response.

Monitoring NC Traffic on 7232 kHz via WebSDR

Monitoring NC Traffic on 7232 kHz via WebSDR

7232 is the NC ARES Tarheel Emergency Net frequency, but it doesn’t appear that the traffic I’m hearing is officially an ARES net – more of an ad-hoc net with mostly INBOUND health and welfare info.

HRN 534: 21 Group FCC-ARRL Luncheon CONDENSED

HRN 534: 21 Group FCC-ARRL Luncheon CONDENSED

Last January, a repeater group in Harrisburg PA had some special guests at their monthly club lunch – a half dozen representatives from the FCC, and a couple of ARRL officials stopped by to talk about ham radio and GMRS, and answer questions from the assembled club members. Just your average club luncheon.

Fortunately, the whole thing was recorded and ended up on YouTube. However, it was nearly two hours long, and some of it was kind of rambling (we’re looking at you, K4AAQ). So, we cut it down to just the essense, about 30 minutes worth. We still recommend watching the whole thing – there are some stories and anecdotes that we cut out that are pretty entertaining. Maybe this edited version will whet your appitite for more.

Here’s the original:
