ARRLWeb: 'Uncooperative' Hurricane Wilma Alters Activation Plans

"NEWINGTON, CT, Oct 21, 2005--

The Hurricane Watch Net (HNW) on 14.325 MHz has again readjusted its activation plans to align with revised forecasts for Hurricane Wilma, which has slowed its forward motion. In addition, Florida ARES teams now have several contingency plans based on various forecast scenarios. As of 1500 UTC, the northwestern eyewall of the Category 4 storm was reported over Cozumel, Mexico, and forecasters say Wilma could make landfall on the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula tonight.

'Wilma simply is not being very cooperative,' HWN Manager Mike Pilgrim, K5MP said Thursday evening. 'Plans laid over the past couple of days just don't adequately respond to the need.' "

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.
