Spotter Training Classes at the Somerset County NJ Fire Training Facility in
Hillsborough NJ.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR EITHER OR BOTH CLASSES!

More information, including information on Pre-registration is available
here:

Note: There is no requirement that a SKYWARN Spotter also be an amateur
radio operator, or that they attend a Class in their county of residence or
even in their NWS Forecast Office County Warning Area. Both the NWS Mt Holly
NJ and the NWS Upton NY require all SKYWARN Spotters to attend a SKYWARN
Training Class at least once every 3 years in order to remain on the the
Active Spotter list.

Questions on these Classes can be sent via Email to Larry Nierenberg, the
SKYWARN Program Leader for the NWS Mt Holly NJ: Larry.Nierenberg at noaa.gov
