Dead­ly Typhoon heads back
The Philip­pine Ama­teur Radio Asso­ci­a­tion (PARA) has reac­ti­vat­ed its emer­gency net for Typhoon Pablo (inter­na­tion­al name Bopha) because its path has changed and may hit the arch­i­pel­ago again.
Vice Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer of PARA, Ramon J. Anquiln DU1UGZ, said the typhoon was par­tic­u­lar­ly head­ed towards to north­ern Luxon.
He said, as always, please dis­sem­i­nate to all hams to steer clear of 7.095 MHz except for emer­gency health and wel­fare traffic.
PARA will be using the fre­quen­cy as its emer­gency chan­nel for the dura­tion of the re-entry of the typhoon to the country.
The pow­er­ful typhoon has already killed hun­dreds of peo­ple and wreaked dev­as­ta­tion when it hit the south­ern Philip­pines last week.
