[PHX-Skywarn] General Information

[Allen Sklar]

Hello All...
First, Please check these sites for updated class info.....
 ARIZONA SKYWARN - http://www.arizona-skywarn.org/
 2004 ARIZONA NWS SUMMER WEATHER SPOTTER TRAINING SCHEDULE IS AT:
 www.wrh.noaa.gov/Phoenix/general/skywarn/index.html#training

And I know I have posted this is the past, so for most it is just a reminder....
There is a few changes with the way weather alerts will be sent out
for a host of reasons,,, 
The current alert list server (Phx-Skywarn) will be shut off in the
next few weeks....
Because of this, you will NEED TO SIGN UP ON THE NEW LIST ASAP....
This list mimics what the qth.net list server did.
We can no longer send mail to the qth.net server due to the security settings on that server.
The svr-spotter listserver should take the place of the qth.net server.
You will need to tell all of the spotters who wish to receive the wx data notification to subscribe to the new
list server.
This list does not archive any data, it just mails the information to the members.
http://nws.phx.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/svr-spotter
They will have to be approved by myself, Frank or David  Runyan in order to belong to the list server.  
Members can post messages to the new listserver.
------------------------------------------
County specific List servers - 
http://nws.phx.noaa.gov/mailman/listinfo/ 
Spotters can also join the county specific lists to see archived data. It is recommended that the member turn
off the mail notification for the county listservers.  The possibility of multiple mailing for one product is
very likely. Products are disseminated to the lists via county and zone codes.
Again all members will have to be approved by David  Runyan or myself.
The real benefit to this setup is that any person can belong to their
appropriate county listserver and turn off the sendmail for that list.
They  can then also belong to the new svr-spotter list and get the mail
notification. They then have the option of going into the county
listserver archives for current or old WX data.  This will give them total
flexibility and control over what  data they wish to receive.
So, lets get the new list up and running....
Please note, this WILL NOT EFFECT THE WX7PHX LIST 
If you have any questions please post to one of the lists
and we will try to answer asap....
Thanks All,,,,
