During every tropical weather threat, and many other major weather events, Amateur Radio operators staff local NWS and American Red Cross shelters and stand ready to provide emergency communications should standard services fail or become overloaded. Many Amateur Radio operators are also trained as SKYWARNT weather spotters by local NWS offices, to provide valuable information during hazardous weather situations. Often, these spotter reports allow NWS meteorologists to issue severe weather warnings with greater advance notice and confidence than would otherwise be possible. Event Information can be found: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/hamradio/ The On Air event starts on December 5th at 7pm [0000Z] and ends on December 6th by 7pm [2400Z] There will be an Antenna and Radio gear setup starting at 4pm on the 5th. At present we will have two HF antennas [One 10/60M vertical and one 80M loop scheduled so far], and the fixed site VHF and UHF Vertical and Beam antennas with the radios setup at NWS IWX Additional operators [HF, VHF, and UHF] are needed to participate through the event. If you plan to attend the SKYWARNT Recognition Day at IWX, please RSVP: Ken Ledgerwood, KC9NWM at: KC9NWM at embarqmail.com Please provide your: . Name/Call Sign . What time you plan on arriving .
