[FARC] Skywarn Information

[N3HTA at aol.com]

All:  By way of reminder... the Frederick County (MD) Skywarn  Subnet is 
associated with the National Capital Skywarn Group...
 
A new web site has been created for the National Capital Skywarn Group  
(through the Sterling, VA NWS office).  The site is  www.wx4lwg.org .  I think 
the site is great!  Take a look at  it, go back often and keep a check on 
the training classes and other weather  related info being offered.   
 
A note on training... there may be a Net Control Training Class being  
offered in the Baltimore area in the very near future.  I have nothing  absolute 
yet, only a "comment" in the Advisory Committee Meeting earlier this  
month.  Keep a watch on the web site.  I also copied an announcement  regarding 
Skywarn Recognition Day (see below).  Making contact with  numerous NWS 
stations across the nation, especially on HF, sounds like a lot of  fun.

Hello all,

Skywarn Recognition Day (SRD) will be here at NWS  Baltimore/Washington for 
24 hours - from 7pm Friday Dec 3rd until 7pm Saturday  Dec 4, 2010.  

SRD was developed in 1999 by the National Weather  Service and the American 
Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions  that volunteer Skywarn 
radio operators make to the National Weather Service.  During the day 
Skywarn operators visit NWS offices and contact other radio  operators across the 
world.

For more information on SRD:

Our  organizer for our local contingent of SRD will be our Skywarn Amateur 
Radio  Coordinator, Virginia Legowik. She can be reached at:

Thank you to all of  our Skywarn spotters!
