[W8MWA] Informational: NWS Storm Reports Credited to Amateur Radio

[Jeffrey Fritz]

I have been asked if I could post a few examples of what the NWS posting of our reports look like from yesterday’s storm. 

While I know that this won’t necessarily be of interest to everyone on these lists, participation in our Skywarn Net came from both clubs and others who are on these lists.

Below are a few sample reports as copied directly from the NWS Pittsburgh Storm Reports.
