[nrv-hams] SKYWARN Recognition Day

[Edward Lener]

All,
The full list of SKYWARN frequencies for our region is listed on the WX4RNK
website I listed earlier. Here are some of the key ones for our area that
may be in use during the event. I believe the 146.745 machine will be the
primary one utilized from the NWS in Blacksburg.

On RF:
146.745 (-600 T107.2) Roanoke / Poor Mtn
147.225 (+600 T100.0) Lewisburg / Muddy Creek Mtn
145.410 (-600 T103.5) Roanoke/Poor Mtn
444.600 (+5 T103.5) Pulaski / Peaks Knob
145.130 (-600 T103.5) Fisher's Peak / Galax-MtAiry
147.420 (simplex remote base, T103.5) Wytheville/Big Walker Mtn

And on ECHOLINK via KF4YLM-R

Node number

871755
