[PHX-Skywarn] Skywarn Photos Needed

[Allen Sklar]

Hello All

SKYWARN Photos Needed for New ARRL Book

Photos are needed for a new ARRL Storm Spotter Handbook. The handbook
covers a wide range of information of use to the Amateur Radio storm
spotter. It covers history of storm spotting, the SKYWARN program, storm
spotter safety, equipment, training, software, types of severe weather,
what to do before/during/after a spotter activation, and an appendix of
useful material. The deadline to have the manuscript in is October 1,
2009. One of the challenges is getting original photographs to include
in the book. The author Mike Corey, W5MPC, is seeking photos of spotters
in action, severe weather as it happens or damage from severe weather,
and Amateur Radio set-ups from NWS offices. Corey is also looking to
hear from spotters with first hand accounts of severe weather such as
sighted and reported tornadoes, hail, damaging wind, flooding, etc. And
finally he is interested in hearing from SKYWARN groups that use newer
technologies such as D-STAR, APRS, or Echolink. Any help is greatly
appreciated. Contact Mike Corey, W5MPC, W5MPC at arrl.net  Oxford,
Mississippi
