VoIP Hurricane Net looking to recruit net control operators

The VoIP Hurricane Net is looking for Net Control Operators (NCOs) to assist with its weekly Hurricane Preparation Net and during Hurricane Net activations.

The VoIP Hurricane Net, created in 2002, is a support net working with WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio station at the
National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The VoIP Net Management team is looking for NCOs from any geographic area to maintain a net for as long as emergency communications are required before, during and shortly after hurricanes; this could be up to 24 hours a day and sometimes for several days. Net Control Operators from the Pacific, Asia, Australia/New Zealand and other international areas can play a critical role in assisting net operations during the overnight hours of a North American activation during their local daytime, providing North American NCOs rest during their normal overnight hours.

Fluent Spanish speakers are also encouraged to apply to become NCOs in order to further support operations in South and Central America, Mexico and Puerto Rico. The VoIP Net Management team will be offering NCO training in the coming weeks. If you're interested in becoming an NCO, please contact Director of VoIP Hurricane Net Operations Rob Macedo, KD1CY, or VoIP Hurricane Net Weekly and Activation Net Control Scheduler Jim Palmer, KB1KQW.
