[LeArc] NWS ham radio net control meeting 02/03

[Mark Garrett]

It would be interesting to visit them but I will be servicing transmitter
sites this weekend in McLean county.  If someone does travel be sure and see
if they also plan on using Echolink since the hardware is pretty much in
place, just need to get together and try and figure out how to wire it into
the repeater.

Next club meeting Feb 13th 2007 at 7:00 PM

Web site: http://www.learc.us

Please join us Sunday Night for the
Lamoine Emergency ARC Sunday Evening Net.
Net time is 8:00 PM local time.


This is just a last "plea" to see if anyone would be willing to drive up to
the NWS office in Davenport this Saturday in order to attend the severe wx
ham radio net control operators meeting as a representative of McDonough
County.  The meeting convenes at 10 AM this Saturday, February 3rd.  I have
directions if needed.  Brandon, KC9ILN will attend but he needs to ride with
someone since he has not yet received his drivers license.

The NWS had added a new tower with directional antennas that will allow them
to almost double their 2m/70 cm range from that NWS office's base radio
station.  They are holding a meeting to discuss the following questions:
    1. How do we effectively and efficiently incorporate the increased
information flow into our existing     operations?  How can things better be
organized?

The NWS would like to get everyone together for a meeting before spring to
develop a communication strategy and severe weather net protocol between
their office and all of the participating Skywarn amateur radio groups.  For
this to work, they need 1 or 2 representatives from each ham Skywarn group
who can participate in discussions on behalf of their respective
organization to attend a meeting so they can work out a mutually beneficial
strategy.


Regards,
Jesse / K9JLR
