The Hurricane Watch Net (HWN) will host a two-day on-air Special Event to celebrate our 60th Anniversary. During this event, taking place June 7–8, 2025, our members will operate using the callsign WX5HWN.
Operations will take place on, or near, 14.325 MHz ±, and 7.268 MHz, ± at the following times:
Saturday, June 7
• 14.325 MHz: 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM EDT (1400-0100 UTC)
• 7.268 MHz: 5:00 PM EDT to 10:00 PM EDT (2100-0200 UTC)

Note: Operations on 7.268 MHz will conclude at 3:00 PM EDT (1900 UTC).
Our Net Control Stations – located across the United States – will all use the WX5HWN callsign, passing the virtual baton from one member to the next throughout the event.
The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 through November 30. While the season typically peaks from mid-August to late October, tropical cyclones can form at any time.
