[Skywarn] Hello from a new guy

[Kevin Heyboer]

The issuance of spotter numbers varies between individual Weather Service
Forecast Offices.  My WSFO in Morristown, TN (MRX) still issues them when
you have taken their class; however, the two other nearest offices,
Peachtree City, GA (FFC) and Greenville-Spartanburg, SC (GSP) no longer do
so because of the employee time involved in maintaining the records.

If you took the course on-line and indicated the WSFO responsible for your
area, then the WCM at that WSFO should have received your spotter training
information.

Here is the link to the WSFO Albuquerque SKYWARN program web page, including
information on their ham station WX5ABQ and the repeater systems used for
weather spotter reporting.

Subject: [Skywarn] Hello from a new guy

Hello all,

I just recently went to a spring storm spotting seminar, and have also taken
the online classes. I am in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area, and have also
just very recently passed my Technician license for Ham radio; call sign
KG5IFP,though I still need a radio. I do reports via various methods and
means; I also enjoy weather photography. I've lived in Eagan, Minnesota and
Albuquerque.

I do have a quick question, I have noticed a few of you have Spotter
numbers. I wonder, what are they, and can I obtain one. If so, how?

Thanks and best wishes-
Pierce, KG5IFP
