Thanks Larry,
  One spotter,  who is not a ham,  wants to come in at 0500 and stay til 
about  0800... his name is Charlie Oliver, out of the Buckeye area.   It's 
best that he be paired up with you,  and so the two of you can work 
together...at least we can start to plan for that....OK??
questions....call me at    480  782-9516.

> SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) is approximately

> 0000 UTC on December 4, 2004.  There are currently
> 65 NWS offices registered to participate. Thanks to Jeff
> Dovyak (VE4MBQ), the Canadian Weather Service will
> be represented by operations at the Prairie Storm Prediction
> Centre in Winnipeg. I've received an additional 10 commitments

> The December issue of QST magazine will have a short
> article about SRD.  That will be coming soon.

> Remember to check the official SRD web site at:

> This is a reminder to those offices working from airport
> grounds to notify the airport manager what will occur.  This
> is done as a courtesy and to make certain that no radio
> interference occurs to airport communications.
>
> I received a couple of questions regarding the event, so I'll
> answer them here. Note that you can find operating
> instructions and suggestions at the SRD registration

> - Do we need to operate for the entire 24 hour period?
>  No.  Work as many hours as you want.  I estimate about
>  50% of the offices work the 24 hours.  Others work
>  between 8 and 12 hours during Saturday morning and
>  afternoon.
>
> - What frequency should I use?
>  This is a common question.  The answer is "any one
>  that is free" on the General section of the 10, 15, 20, 40,
>  and 80 meter bands.  You may use any VHF/UHF
>  frequency other than the national calling frequencies.
>  There is no band plan for the event.  If the bands
>  get extremely crowded, you can move to the Extra
>  portions of the bands assuming you have a control operator
>  who is licensed in the Extra class.
