Amateur Radio station WX4NHC at the National Hurricane Center in Miami will conduct its annual station test on May 30, 1400 until 2200 UTC. The purpose of this event is to test Amateur Radio station equipment, antennas, and computers in advance of the 2015 hurricane season, which starts June 1 and runs through November 30.
“This event is will be good practice for ham radio operators worldwide, as well as for National Weather Service (NWS) staff to become familiar with Amateur Radio communications that are available during times of severe weather,” said WX4NHC Assistant Amateur Radio Coordinator Julio Ripoll, WD4R. WX4NHC also will conduct operator training.
WX4NHC will make brief contacts on a variety of frequencies and modes, exchanging signal reports and basic weather information, such as “sunny” or “rain,” with any and all stations. WX4NHC will operate on HF, VHF and UHF bands, including APRS on 2 and 30 meters and WinLink (subject must contain “//WL2K”).
