Let me pass on a word of appreciation from the NWS Pitttsburgh and from me
personally.
We had nine stations check-in to our North Central West Virginia Skywarn
Net during the Severe Thunderstorm Warning this afternoon. The Marion
Skywarn Net had six check-ins.
I know that 15 total Skywarn check-ins may not sound like a lot. But it
is—especially when you consider that the Severe Thunderstorm Warning was
issued without any significant notice. And it occured in February. Who
expects Severe Thunderstorm Warnings in February?
But you were there on the W8MWA and W8SP repeaters letting us know that you
were monitoring and available!
The severe cell missed most of us (thankfully) but those reports from
areas that were hit were very much appreciated and valued. The NWS
Pittsburgh said so and they said it publically:
*Thanks to the West Virginia ham radio operators on the Skywarn Nets,
Jeffrey. Their reports were very helpful! *— Matthew Brudy, NWS Pittsburgh
So, yes. thank you for a job well done!
73,
Jeff, WB1AAL
