Typhoon alert — 40m fre­quen­cy in use
The Philip­pine Ama­teur Radio Asso­ci­a­tion (PARA) has acti­vat­ed its Emer­gency Net to mon­i­tor trop­i­cal typhoon Rumbia (Phils code­name Gorio) as it tra­vers­es the East­ern Visayas Region in the gen­er­al direc­tion of the Bicol and NCR regions.
Ham Emer­gency Radio Oper­a­tions (HERO) oper­a­tors are using 7.095 MHZ as the emer­gency call­ing frequency.
PARA is there­fore request­ing neigh­bour­ing ham oper­a­tors and their nation­al asso­ci­a­tions for their utmost under­stand­ing and coop­er­a­tion to stand clear of the fre­quen­cy until the emer­gency net is stood down.
