[Skywarn] Skywarn Digest, Vol 24, Issue 3

[lanelson1 at juno.com]

This whole exchange highlights another reason why the EM community may be reticent in the use of hams. If we show a lack of professionalism here (which could be read by anyone), do you think that EMs want to associated with that?

On August 2nd I was reading my local new on AOL.
They mentioned a skywarn spotter class
It was dated to be held in MAY of 2011
I called the number to see if that was a typo and I was informed that  
indeed the class was held last May
The number was also the State NJOEM and the were not able to give any  
information on any other locations so since I do Search & Rescue I have more  
rights to be out in hazard weather conditions and they can't really stop me  
since I teach the skills and had my own training school for about 12  years.
You don't have to call NOAA.
Form your own certified team then call the local TV stations and they will  
contact NOAA
Also after reading your very abrasive letter,calling people a moron,I don't 
 want to be any part of this crap.
I'm well known and respected in my area and do not have the need to be  
hooked up to some foul mouthed list.
Have fun.

What you  need to do is call or visit in person your local NOAA office and 
talk to  the head meteorologist, not a flunky intern.

"You don't have to call NOAA."

Then call the NWS, either way, they work together on the Spotter program, 
I'm sure one of them can help you.

"Also after reading your very abrasive letter,calling people a moron,I don't

I have news for you a** hole.  I fly and I studied meteorology and I teach
wilderness survival skills and I also do Search and Rescue I am also a part
of NJOEM and I have credentials, and a badge to show to anyone who tries to
tell me to go home. My job is to be out in any weather to rescue people. I
get pissed at times myself but I can control the words when writing letters,
so GO FU** YOURSELF!

My abrasive response:

Go auger into a cliff.

Apologies to the list in general,

Kurt
