[FARC] Skywarn "Basic" Training Class

[N3HTA at aol.com]

I am willing to attempt to get a National Weather Service Skywarn Basics 1  
class started for the Frederick, MD area.  Anyone, ham or not, please  
advise me of name and contact information (e-mail address is preferred).   There 
are no guarantees, but I will make the attempt if I get a  sufficient 
number of participants.  A reminder... being a radio amateur is  NOT a 
requirement to participate in Skywarn as weather reports can be sent to  the Weather 
Service Forecast Office in Sterling, VA via telephone (the same  place the 
amateur radio reports are sent... except usually by radio). Skywarn is  not 
limited to severe thunder storms and tornados... severe winter weather  
reports are important as well, especially icing conditions.
