Amateur Radio Serves as Hurricane Debby Dumps Rain on East Coast

Hurrican Watch Net HWN Logo
[http://www.hwn.org/]


Hurricane Debby continues to drench the East Coast. The storm originally made landfall in Florida's Big Bend coastal area just after 11:00 PM on Sunday, August 4, as a Category 1, near Steinhatchee, Florida, just 9 miles southeast of where Category 3 Idalia made landfall on August 30, 2023.


The hurricane was downgraded the following day to a tropical storm and
National Hurricane Center forecasters reported that sustained winds were 74 miles per hour (MPH), and the storm was moving north and east at 10 MPH.


The amateur radio station at the National Hurricane Center, WX4NHC [ https://w4ehw.fiu.edu/ ] , the Hurricane Watch Net [ http://www.hwn.org/ ] , and the VoIP Hurricane Net [ https://voipwx.net/ ] were activated as Debby slowly traversed the Southeast US and dumped potentially catastrophic
rainfall over widespread parts of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. On Monday morning, August 5, nearly 248,000 homes and business customers were without electricity.


Scott Roberts, KK4ECR, ARRL Northern Florida Section Manager, reported that Clay County Emergency Services (ARES®) was also active. Arc J. Thames,
W4CPD, Northern Florida Section Emergency Coordinator, reported that Alachua County and Franklin County ARES were also activated.


Amateur Radio Emergency Service® ARES®
[https://www.arrl.org/ares]


Thames reported an amateur radio operator was stranded due to high water in Suwannee County. He used the statewide repeater network, SARNET, to relay the information and a monitoring operator in Jacksonville was able to coordinate with an urban search-and-rescue (USAR) team with an embedded ham radio
operator and was able to facilitate the rescue of a family.


Rick Palm, K1CE, editor of the ARRL ARES Letter, was at his home in Fort
White, Florida, when the storm hit.


"It was another wild ride, with huge trees down and river levels rising
fast," Palm reported. "For two days, lots of heavy machinery rolled into our neighborhood to saw up downed trees and restore power."


Palm also reported to the town shelter and worked with Darren DeMarino,
KO4DLN, and had contact with Brad Swartz, N5CBP, who is the Emergency Coordinator stationed at the EOC radio room. He managed to send a "Field Situation Report" via Winlink to the EOC in Lake City. Palm said he was a little rusty but got the form to go through.


The Five Flags Amateur Radio Association, W4UC, located in Pensacola,
Florida, was asked by state officials to serve as HF backup for the SARNET system even though they were outside the warned area.


Tropical Storm Debby, now off the Atlantic coast, will move through the Carolinas, and then northeast from the mid-Atlantic into New England.


Colorado State University meteorologists released an updated forecast
Tuesday, August 6, for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season [ https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/colorado-state-university-changes-forecast-for-2024-hurricane-season-in-latest-update/ar-AA1okNXb?ocid=BingNewsSerp
] , the day after Hurricane Debby made landfall in Florida's Big Bend [ https://www.jacksonville.com/story/weather/hurricane/2024/08/05/hurricane-debby-landfall-path-impacts/74671677007/
] . Forecasters reduced the number of named storms slightly from the July forecast, from 25 to 23 named storms. All other numbers remained the same, including the predicted number of major hurricanes, six.

New York High School Helps License Young Hams

On August 1, 2024, Steve Goodgame, K5ATA, ARRL Education and Learning
Manager, took a train trip to New York City to visit the Staten Island Technical High School [ https://www.siths.org/ ] . He was there to help administer amateur radio exams to 49 students and all passed their exams. Several upgraded their licenses from General to Extra class and two students went from unlicensed to Extra class in one sitting.


Their teacher, Everton Henriques, KD2ZZT, attended ARRL's Teachers Institute
on Wireless Technology [ http://arrl.org/teachers-institute-on-wireless-technology ] TI - 1 last year and TI - 2 this year. Since then, Everton has helped over 100 kids
successfully test for their amateur radio licenses. He has built a program incorporating HF, local repeater use, foxhunting, and space communications
and has plans to incorporate mesh networking with his students this coming school year.


Geochron Global Operational Awareness
[http://www.geochron.com/ham-radio-4k/]


On August 6, 2024, Henriques was helping his students build antennas to help make contact with the International Space Station. They made a 5-element VHF "bad boy" antenna with a mounting mechanism to rotate and pitch the heading using 3D-printed materials, PVC, and aluminum rods. They tried using an IC-2730a VHF/UHF radio on medium power. While that didn't go as well as planned, they were able to hear a lot of activity on 70 centimeters.


Staten Island Technical High School began as a New York City public high
school in 1988. Its student body is comprised of lifelong learners,
innovation facilitators, contributors to the betterment of society and intellectually inquisitive young men and women. In September of 2005, the school was granted the status as New York City's 7th Specialized High School
by the New York City Department of Education. New York City's Specialized
High Schools are comprised of the most academically gifted and talented students.

In Brief...

The 27th Annual International Lighthouse / Lightship Weekend (ILLW [ https://illw.net/ ] ) is August 17 - 18, 2024. The event began in 1998 as the Scottish Northern Lights Award run by the Ayr Amateur Radio Group [ https://gm0ayr.org/HomePage.html ] . The ILLW attracts over 500 lighthouse entries located in over 40 countries. It is a popular international amateur radio event, not a contest, and there are very few rules. It is also free and there are no prizes for contacting large numbers of other stations. There are currently 312 lighthouses and their callsigns registered. The complete list
can be found on the ILLW homepage and includes stations throughout the United States. Amateur radio operators may use any authorized frequency or mode as defined by their individual licenses. Digital modes such as FT8 may be used, but because FT8 is a keyboard-to-keyboard mode of communication, the visiting public may not fully understand what amateur radio is all about. ILLW guidelines suggest

an HF transceiver and a wire type antenna is a better way to demonstrate amateur radio. The event runs from 0001 UTC August 17 to 2400 UTC August 18
(48 hours). For questions about the event or how to enter, contact event organizer and webmaster Kevin Mulcahy, VK2CE, using this link [ https://illw.net/index.php/contact-us ] .


Carter Craigie, N3AO, passed away on August 1, 2024, at age 86. Licensed
since 1981, he was an ARRL Life Member and Maxim Society Member. He was
married to past ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, for 49 years. During Kay's tenure as ARRL President, Carter traveled with her to conventions and conferences in the US and other countries. Someone who never knew a stranger, he made many friends on those travels with whom he stayed in touch on the air and through social media. His many amateur radio accomplishments, and further words of remembrance from Kay are on ARRL News [ https://www.arrl.org/news/carter-craigie-n3ao-silent-key ] .
