Morning Art,
As I mentioned to you last night, would you please bring up the following to
the members 
Of the FPARC this evening?
 
1) Skywarn Recognition Day: Operators needed
Date: December 1, 2006 @ 1900 hrs to December 2, 2006 @ 1900 hrs
Location: National Weather Service Office
421 Croton Rd.
Melbourne, Fl.
The Treasure Coast Weather Network has once again been invited to assist the
amateur radio operators of the NWS in Melbourne and the Brevard Skywarn
Group in operating the amateur radio stations of the NWS, WX4MLB during the
annual Skywarn Recognition Day.
This event is sponsored by the NWS and the ARRL and the purpose of this
event is to give the amateur community throughout the country and world the
opportunity to contact the participating NWS offices throughout the country.
Numerous modes of communications are being used/
This year from Melbourne we will be operating the vhf, uhf, hf and Echolink
modes and will be using voice, cw, rtty and psk.
In order to keep the stations on the air during this event we are in need of
operators. We are looking for volunteers who can operate for an hour, couple
hours half a day or the whole event. There is a particular need for cw
operators.
If interested please contact Wayne, KA1VRF at ka1vrf at bellsouth.net , during
the TCWN Net on Sunday evenings at 2100 hrs on the 146.775 repeater or call
at 772-569-8151 (Vero number).
This is a fun event for both the participating NWS offices as well as
amateurs throughout the world.
There are certificates that can be earned for participating at the NWS or
via the airwaves.
