      Sixth Annual SKYWARN Recognition Day

     
     Time: 9 AM - 3 PM, Saturday, December 4, 2004
      Location: Blue Hill Observatory, Milton, MA

     
     On Saturday, December 4th members of the Boston Amateur Radio Club will be at the
      Observatory to participate in SKYWARN Recognition Day. Amateur Radio operators will
      set up radio stations at the National Weather Service (NWS) offices and other weather
      related locations and will contact similar stations around the world. For several
      decades, ham-radio operators have assisted the NWS by providing real-time reports
      of severe weather and storm conditions, and they recently played a key role by
      providing communications during the hurricanes that affected Florida this year.
      During this event, stations will exchange signal reports, location and a brief
      description of the current weather at their respective locations. In addition,
      the Observatory will be open for tours, the hams will be available to explain
      their activities and equipment, there will be kite making and tagged balloon
      releases, and our gift shop will have a holiday sale with discounted merchandise.
      The event is free and open to the public, so come and join us for a fun day!
