"Amateur Radio Continues to Prepare for Wilma's Arrival

NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 20, 2005--Preparations are ramping up in advance of the arrival of Hurricane Wilma. Although downgraded to a Category 4 storm, Wilma still is considered an 'extremely dangerous' hurricane as it continues toward Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and a possible subsequent landfall along the Florida peninsula this weekend. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is advising all interests in the Florida Keys and the Florida Peninsula to closely monitor Wilma's progress, which has slowed, and some evacuation orders have been delayed. The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) will activate today at 1900 UTC on 14.325 MHz. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
