SKYWARN Photos Needed for New ARRL Book 


Photos are needed for a new ARRL Storm Spotter Handbook . The handbook covers a wide range of information of use to the Amateur Radio storm spotter. It covers history of storm spotting, the SKYWARN program, storm spotter safety, equipment, training, software, types of severe weather, what to do before/during/after a spotter activation, and an appendix of useful material. The deadline to have the manuscript in is October 1, 2009. 

One of the challenges is getting original photographs to include in the book. The author Mike Corey, W5MPC, is seeking photos of spotters in action, severe weather as it happens or damage from severe weather, and Amateur Radio set-ups from NWS offices. Corey is also looking to hear from spotters with first hand accounts of severe weather such as sighted and reported tornadoes, hail, damaging wind, flooding, etc. And finally he is interested in hearing from SKYWARN groups that use newer technologies such as D-STAR, APRS, or Echolink. Any help is greatly appreciated. Contact Mike Corey, W5MPC  [ W5MPC at arrl.net ] ,  Oxford, Mississippi
