[LeArc] SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 14 for WESTERN ILLINOIS, SOUTHEASTERNIOWA, NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI

[Jerry Walter]

Hi Rich,

My weather radios both went off five times during the night.  I have a unit
we take to the field when severe weather is mentioned in the forecast. Both
units have SAME technology.  I also monitored the 147.06 repeater all night.
