[ARRL-OK] Re: Weather Warnings

[D C Macdonald]

One thing to remember, most folks who have SAME
capable weather radios probably have them set to
recieve warnings for their home counties plus maybe
the immediate surrounding counties.  Posts of the
general NOAA advisories provides for advanced and
more detailed data on possible weather conditions.

My thought, echoed by some others, is that the info
may be valuable to many as a tipoff to what's likely
to be headed their way anywhere from 1/2 hour to
8 or 10 hours ahead of time.

Well, I wouldn't recommend WeatherBugsme, but I listed it in the interest of
fairness.  I use MyCast and EmergencyEmail.  The list was a quick check of
my favorites folder and the Big 6 Oklahoma TV stations.  I also have
WeatherTap for the radar, but that's a paid service.

I still highly recommend a NOAA WX Radio w/SAME alert, then you don't need
an internet connection.  Come on, we're amateur RADIO operators, what could
be more natural than receiving alerts via NOAA RADIO!
