Skywarn Trained  Participants 
I am putting together a list of Skywarn trained persons  in Frederick 
County (MD).  Some  months ago during a Skywarn Net, I was asked by Sterling 
Weather for conditions  in a very specific part of Frederick County.  There were 
no spotters checked into the  net from that area at the time.  One  of our 
net participants remembered we had a member who lived in the area and  
telephoned him.  The information  needed by Sterling Weather was obtained and 
quickly transmitted to them.  This certainly pointed out the need in  having a 
list of where our Skywarn members live and where they work. 
We have been in contact with Frederick County (MD)  Division of Emergency 
Management to establish a contact to notify them of severe  and immediately 
dangerous weather we may spot.  They indicated a desire/need to have a  list 
of persons who are trained in weather observation (Skywarn) that they could  
call for specific information concerning weather conditions within 
Frederick  County.  They asked for a contact  person with a list of trained 
volunteer weather observers for urgent weather  related issues involving their 
emergency management duties.  The County office will not have access  to the 
list; but a Net Control Operator will have the ability to contact a  trained 
observer in the area and have that person contact the Emergency  Management 
Office.  We feel this is  the best way to maintain security of the persons on 
the list and the phone  contacts.  Sterling Weather cannot  provide a list of 
trained observers for security reasons. 
I am willing to maintain a list of Skywarn trained  persons.  The four 
trained Skywarn  Net Control Operators (Jim N3HTA,  Jeff  KB3FIO,  Jackie WB3KDS 
and Rick K3RO) will have  access to the list; but no one else.  The names 
and numbers will be provided to the County only for urgent  information 
reasons.  We ask all  Skywarn trained operators voluntarily provide a phone 
number for  home and place of employment (Frederick County only).  Please send 
the information including  your Skywarn ID # to me via e-mail or telephone.  
Again this is a voluntary action and the list will be  maintained by me and 
shared only with the 3 other Skywarn Net Operators.  I will accept Skywarn 
trained NON-hams  as well for the list.  There is no  requirement for persons 
participating in Skywarn to be hams… reports are  accepted via telephone at 
Sterling. 
If you have any questions, please call me.
