Default 2012 National Hurricane Conference

In case you do not get the ARRL Notifications:


Update: 2012 National Hurricane Conference Amateur Radio Activities


The National Hurricane Conference will be held March 26-29, at the
Hilton Orlando in Orlando Florida. There will be several amateur radio
activities going on during the week. The National Hurricane Conference
(NHC) leadership continues to recognize the valuable contributions of
amateur radio and again invited us to participate with two sessions.
What a great opportunity for amateur radio!

NHC Session #1: Monday, March 26, 2012 from 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm, the
main amateur radio session titled, "Amateur Radio Training Sessions:
Disaster Communications Before, During and After Hurricanes."

NHC Session #2: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 from 8:30 am to 10:00 am, at
the National Hurricane Conference (NHC), there will be an amateur radio
session designed for Emergency Management agencies called "Amateur Radio
Rap Session-The Emergency Manager’s Hidden Resource."

On Monday, March 26, 2012 from 7:00 pm to 9:00pm, the Orange County
Communications Auxiliary, the Orange County EOC and the ARRL
Southeastern Division will host an interactive free "NHC Workshop" for
all ARES interested amateur radio operators at the Orange County
Emergency Operations Center, 6590 Amory Court, Winter Park, FL 32792.
You will be able to meet other like-minded hams, the presenters of the
Hurricane Conference amateur radio sessions and special guest Dr. Rick
Knabb, Tropical Weather Expert at The Weather Channel. The agenda will
be: introductions, conference presenters summarize the NHC amateur
radio presentations, special guest speaker, emergency communications
discussion, questions & answers and door prizes.

The three presentations will be livestreaming on the internet at,
www.nsradio.org/stream.htm and www.voipwx.net/files/stream.htm

All hams are invited at no cost to attend session 1 and 2 at the
National Hurricane Conference and the NHC Workshop at the Orange County
EOC.
