I’ll be joining other hams in providing communications support to our emergency management office this weekend. As an FYI, if you have a single side band short wave radio, here is the net activation announcement:
The Hurricane Watch Net has activated as rapidly developing Hurricane Irene makes its way through the gulf. The net is active on 14.325 MHz USB, information isavailable at http://www.hwn.org
I happen to know a ham who will be doing the same from the south shore of Long Island. He is married to my mother.

Thanks. I have a scanner at home that I'll be tuning into that frequency.
I have an Eton (grundig) E100 shortwave receiver.
Should that 14.325 MHz USB frequency translate to 14325 KHz on my receiver's dial ?
Or is sideband a completely different animal ?
Have done a bit of digging on wiki w/o clarification.
I've tuned and set 14325 KHz into memory, but so far only static, tho according to the HWN link you posted, it won't be active til tomorrow (Sat) at 0630.
thanks
