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, Oxford, Mississippi
