SKYWARN Recognition Day is a 24-hour on-air event where NWS SKYWARN Desk
stations are activated, seeking contacts from all licensed amateurs and
other Weather Forecast Offices.   SKYWARN Stations will be activeon all
bands, HF(80m)-VHF/UHF, and repeater contacts are welcome.  The exchange
involves callsign, signal report, QTH, and a simple one or two word WX
report.  The event begins at 7pm local Friday, and runs until 7pm local
Saturday.

number of area repeaters and on HF.  Look for WX4RNK this weekend.

VTARA members are invited to operate from WX4RNK!!!
Email Carter Craigie, N3AO, at carterwc128 at gmail.com if you'd like to
stop by and operate.  It's a blast!  All licensees are invited. It's a

in the CRC!!  You get to see where forecasts are made for our area, and
have fun playing ham radio!
