> The annual WX4NHC On-the-Air Station Test from the National
> Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami takes place Saturday, May 31, from
> 1300-2100 UTC. "The purpose of this annual Station Test is to test
> all of our radio equipment, computers and antennas using as many
> modes and frequencies as possible. This is not a contest or
> simulated hurricane exercise. New equipment and software will be
> tested, and some operator training will also be conducted," says
> WX4NHC Assistant Amateur Radio Volunteer Coordinator Julio Ripoll,
> WD4R. He adds that WX4NHC also will be testing new computers and
> software as well conducting operator training.

> WX4NHC will be on the air on HF, VHF and UHF, plus 2 and 30 meter
> APRS. Suggested SSB frequencies are 3.950, 7.268, 14.325, 21.325 and
> 28.525 MHz, +/-QRM; WX4NHC reports that they will mostly be on
> 14.325 MHz and will make announcements when they change frequencies.
> WX4NHC also will be on the VoIP Hurricane Net 1700-1900 UTC (IRLP
> node 9219/EchoLink WX-TALK Conference) and on South Florida area
> VHF/UHF repeaters and simplex.
>
> Stations working WX4NHC exchange call sign, signal report, location
> and name plus a brief weather report, such as "sunny," "rain" or
> "cloudy." Non-hams may submit their actual weather using the On-Line
> Hurricane Report Form. QSL to WD4R and include a self-addressed,
> stamped envelope. Do not send cards to the NHC. Due to security
> measures, no visitors will be allowed at NHC during the test.
