Update: 3 September 2007 at 0750 EDTThere are a lot of hurricane frequency list out there, but most of them have old material, never updated or frequencies that are basically useless for keeping track of the big winds. I will be posting to this list with frequencies I regularly monitor before, during, and after an event. All frequencies are kHz and all times are UTC.
The Echolink VoIP Hurricane Net is on node 7203, the WX_Talk conference, that is used for Skywarn and NHC Nets. This conference is for "stations in the affected areas only." Others wishing to monitor the net can do so on the Echolink VK Emergency Communications Conference on node 270177 or the Echolink N5API Conference on node 77433.Hurricane Hunter Plan of the Day (Today):

*According to Dave Lefavour, W7GOX HWN Manager, "the HWN primary freq is 14.325, but when we have available operators and the National Hurricane Center requests, we may shift to various others to accommodate affected areas as storms approach and 20 meters folds. The specific freqs used will depend on storm location, and propagation while avoiding interfering with other nets in progress." Any other freqs you see listed for this net other than 14.325 MHz are probably not valid in most instances. They will use what they can when they can and those changes will be announced on 14.325 MHz.
Callsigns:
Teal ## WC-130J 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron
I will be adding more listing, including ham nets, as time, propagation and monitoring permits. This list is compiled from on the air intercepts. Be sure to check back often for updates as new material is heard.
