They were on the JSC repeater every Thurs nite. I haven’t been able to monitor 
them in a year. I think they changed something with their antenna or repeater 
location.

Most of the NWS nets I recall KB5PGY David Fanelli (I had to go look it up as I 
have a hard time remembering his call) and he is still very active in various 
nets in the Greater Houston area.

Back about 10 yrs ago. When there was a chance of bad weather, there was a 
skywarn net activated by the NWS Galveston, A Ham would man the ham station at 
the League City office,  an take reports of bad weather, flooding or other 
weather related damage. He would also report any weather related items hams 
needed to know. This was run as a net on the Saltgrass Link System (back when 
it was active) Most of the time one ham was the net control (do not remember 
his call) he used the Galveston Weather Station call. This was a great service, 
and you always knew where to tune for weather service info. During hurricane 
IKE I was station at the Humble FD, the FD stopped making calls when the winds 
reached 85mph.  Since the City of Humble is close to the airport, and the NWS 
has a wind speed gage at the airport, I via, ham radio, asked the weather 
service when the wind reached 85. and advised the fire dept. They were 
impressed that I could communicate with the NWS directly. I would like to see 
that service back. At that time the League City office had 2 fully equipped Ham 
stations, and actively recruited hams to train and use there stations. The used 
many of the reports hams supplied to advise the news media as to the conditions 
of the streets, neighborhoods  & areas. It was great service. Tell me if you 
would like to see this service back? We can do it on the 146.940 as well as 
other repeaters. Robert KD5YVQ

No guarantee that you will have cell service after an event.
Definitely raises an awareness that we should do a better job of socializing 
what frequencies have the EmComm activities on them… in a more constant manner 
during the off season.

Just for the record, we were tasked by Harris County OEM (TranStar) with 
opening and monitoring an emergency net from around 1930 hours. Originally to 
be on the 147.000 citywide repeater, we learned that the antenna took some 
major damage, and the transmit footprint was seriously degraded.

We then sent an announcement through groups.io to the members of the STX 
District 14 group that we were opening the net on the RoseHill 146.720 
repeater. We ran it last night until 2300, stood down until 0700 today, and we 
are still monitoring it for emergency traffic or damage/power outages, etc..

We have a direct WebEOC line into HC OEM, and all emergency messages get 
instantly routed to them.



So….. Just an FYI, for those of you within range of H-Town, you can always 
check the Groups.io for STXARESD14 for any nets that may be stood up in an 
event..



Be safe out there, folks!
