[Skywarn] New to skywarn

[Bob Burns W9BU]

Jerry, have you checked to see if there is an existing Skywarn group in
Daviess County? You might check with local hams in the area, check into
local nets, or attend local club meetings to see what's going on if you
haven't already.

Daviess County, Indiana, is covered by the Indianapolis NWS office and
Skywarn reports are handled through Central Indiana Skywarn which serves as
a common collection point for reports. When activated by the Indianapolis
NWS, Central Indiana Skywarn solicits reports from county-level Skywarn
nets, but the organization of county-level spotting and net activities is up
to the individual county.

The county repeater map at  w9nws.org/repeater_map  shows the 146.670 MHz
repeater as the Skywarn repeater for Daviess County, but I believe that
repeater is located somewhere near Vincennes. The 146.925 MHz and 443.925
MHz repeaters in Vincennes are linked into the 146.970 MHz repeater in
Indianapolis which is the primary repeater for Central Indiana Skywarn.

If you have questions about Central Indiana Skywarn, you may want to contact
Mark Shaffer N9GDR using the contact form at w9nws.org.
