Perhaps it would be helpful to pick a couple of easy to remember frequencies, one for daytime on 20m and one for night on 40m. I'd suggest 7.287 and 14.287 but I don't know if they're used by a beacon or foreign station.
Generally, I pick up Florida stations like they were next door. Not sure why but they always seem to come in here the loudest. |

I'm that guy. Bought 4 ghetto BaoFengs handhelds two years ago, started studying, never took the exam. So I gave two to my friends who live within a mile and we set them to 462.700 to use channel 21 on GMRS. Seems to work. Any suggestions are welcome - are we doing this correctly?

I have had a tech license for a few years. To be honest, I never use it.
I wouldn't mind monitoring a frequency and could check in from time to time with local update to my area (wellington palm beach county). There a good 2m frequency to monitor? |

The SATERN SSB Net is active on 14.265 and/or 7.262 MHz depending on propagation.

ETA: Notice MODE in the layout, ( FM ) that's what you can program into your rig I like the repeaterbook app, free and works with your location to tell you what is avail in your AO too :) ETA2: if you have a working programming cable and have the CHIRP software installed you can import from data service : Repeaterbook using your State/County hope some of that helps, we praying for y'all... for those looking for a "how to become a ham and what to do next" check out my page and podcast: Here |

Sarnet is a great asset. There are always people monitoring it. Unlicensed radio operators are allowed to use Ham radios in life and death situations.

Im fortunate enough I have linked repeaters to Fl in my AO. (I'm in NJ)
Assuming theyre not blown away, I can pass messages for those who need it. I also have HF capabilities, but currently the tech license is the holdup.

I heard on the news this morning the Red Cross app has a monitor function where you can put in your persons information and they will notify you of when and where they check into a shelter.

I have been listening to Florida Statewide on DMR and there is very little activity so far, maybe that will change by the time I get home from work tonight. I have a friend in Miami that was not going to evacuate and now that she shifted to the West probably not a big deal.

Don't forget about the Hurricane Watch Net http://hwn.org/ on 14.325 USB.
I will monitor as much as I can over the next several days but having a 4 week old newborn is severely limiting my operational capacity

Guys, you aren't missing anything. Just incessant reporting of weather forecasts more easily obtained by other means, calls for check-in's, and general QRM.
Even hams have better things to do during hurricanes than yack on the radio. Smart hams have bugged out and are too busy drinking and eating and enjoying the comfort of their Alabama hotel rooms to dick around with ham radio. Dumb hams will be too busy surviving to "communicate". However, it will be interesting to know if anyone can report on the survivability of SARNET. BTW, I have a bunch of customers in the Tampa area. Every single one of them has opted to bug-in. One is already having a "hurricane party". |

Pasco County put out a call late Saturday for volunteers with a specific skill set and technical equipment to help with the response to Hurricane Irma.
Pasco County says it needs 20 volunteers who know how to operate ham radios to assist with Hurricane Irma response efforts. The county asked for volunteers who have their own portable or mobile radio with UHF/VHF capability. Anyone who meets these requirements and is available to help is asked to email [email protected] or call the Customer Service Volunteer Hotline at 727-847-8944 to register. Other volunteer opportunities are also available. Additional information will be posted at www.pascocountyfl.net.
