This may be especially relevant to some of our sysop and   
   user hams in region 18 ...   
      
      
   since isaac threatens FLorida today and some nearby islands   
   the Hurricane watch net is taking measured weather data from stations in the   
   area, on both 14325 khz and on 40 meters on   
   7268 khz lower sideband.   
      
   If you are not in the affected area, or do not have the   
   proper privileges to transmit please do not on those   
   frequencies.  Feel free to listen however.   
      
   IF ISaac proceeds along the gulf coast to Louisiana and   
   MIssissippi the ARRL Delta Division Emergency net will be   
   ready to activate providing 24/7 communications services for government and   
   private agencies and anyone else within the   
   affected area.  Yours truly is in close communication with   
   section leadership in the Delta Division, and as net manager will need to get   
   things cranked up in advance if this   
   happens.   
      
   Anyone with priority traffic during evening hours, if the   
   emergency net does not stand up can utilize Central Area   
   Nightwatch, 3807.5 khz as of 0100 uTC.
