all the new computers use serial ports!) Then if you want the FFT-1 for RTTY/PSK31/CW decoding, you have to pay extra for it, too (189 bucks). One drawback is that to hook it up via USB to your computer, you have to use a converter (SCU-17) that they want 195 bucks for. I had pretty much made my mind up to get the Kenwood, but now I'm not so sure. Very quiet receiver compared to the Kenwood (without using DSP, that is). Fun to play with the filters and "see" them on the display. I'll have to check if there's a tension adjustment for it, because it made it a little difficult to tune. The whole feel of the radio is very good, maybe with the exception of the VFO, which was pretty free. I'm not really referring to the display, either. I have to say the Yaesu is much more impressive in person, and pictures really don't do it justice.

National Public Radio (NPR) highlighted the role of Amateur Radio in the Dominica response in a September 21 story.Stopped in at HRO today. There’s more information on the Amateur Radio response on the Hurricane Maria – Dominica Amateur Radio Communications (DARCI) Facebook page. Do not transmit unless you have valid traffic for the net.

Lucia to nets on 80 and 40 meters, he said. Lucia - allowed hams to monitor traffic in Dominica on the local J73MAN repeater.” Because of poor HF band conditions, no propagation was available to the US, but the J69DS remote station provided direct access from St. “For the public, the only link to information on their families in Dominica was a Facebook broadcast of an EchoLink node to the island by Brian Machesny, K1LI/J75Y,” Kuo said. The net also has been an only communication path for government communication. Lucia and on Dominica, and others outside the region, for coordinating and collecting inbound health-and-welfare traffic as well as coordinating the landing of the emergency relief vessels from Barbuda and advising rescue groups on logistics. Kuo said stations in Puerto Rico also report having no power, telephone service, or water and “everything devastated.” Dominica suffered a direct hit by Hurricane Maria on September 18-19, resulting in a loss of all power and a total blackout of communication to the outside world, except for Amateur Radio. On September 21, the net experienced what Kuo described as deliberate interference.

The CEWN said that at this time, its operators are unable to deal with health-and-welfare traffic. The net is dealing with a tremendous volume of traffic for Dominica and Puerto Rico, he told ARRL, with a handful of stations handling emergency and priority communications for a million or more people. “The CEWN operators have ended up filling the communications gap for the agencies, without any prior briefing.” “Truly I think that the regional agencies were not ready for a calamity of this magnitude,” said Kumar Persaud, J85K, one of the CEWN net controllers. Kuo said the net is handling “real life-and-death traffic in Dominica,” including a situation involving someone with a broken leg and trapped in a house. The Caribbean Emergency and Weather Network ( CEWN) on 7.188 and 3.815 MHz continues actively handling emergency and priority traffic in the wake of Hurricane Maria - especially for Dominica and Puerto Rico but for any storm-affected area in the Caribbean where storm damage was severe.Ī YouTube live stream is available, compliments of ARRL Santa Barbara Section Technical Advisor Ben Kuo, AI6YR - who has no official connection with CEWN.
