Welcome To the ARRL Southern Florida Section Blog

Today is the 25th anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Andrew in
south Dade County. I was working for the Florida Forest Service and
spent many months assisting to restore the State communications
infrastructure in that devastated area. I had the opportunity to work
with many dedicated communications professionals…

25 years ago today, Hurricane Andrew had its eye aimed at Palm Beach County. Tomorrow,

Hurricane Andrew decided to Jog South and Devastated the Homestead area of Florida. Always

be ready.

Congratulations to the Florida Keys Amateur Radio Club for becoming the 6000th Weather Ready Nation Ambassador! @NWSKeyWest @WRNAmbassadors
