[W8MWA] Informational: Visit to KDKA TV, Pittsburgh

[Jeffrey Fritz]

Today was a very special day for me. I was invited to tour the KDKA TV CBS
studios in Pittsburgh. I will attach a few pictures from my visit to this
email, but first I have something special to share with you.

During my visit I met with Trey Fulbright and Mary Ours. If you watch the
KDKA TV news, you will recognize their names. They are two of the
Meteorologists who give the KDKA First Alert weather reports.

I want to share with you what they told me.

When I was introduced to them they said, “We know Jeff. He is part of the
Skywarn ham radio group in North Central West Virginia.”

Before I could say that’s right, they said, “We appreciate what the ham
radio folks in your Skywarn Net do for us. We often don’t know what is
occurring during severe weather in West Virginia. Your Skywarn reports help
us to better understand your weather. They are extremely helpful. Please
keep sending your reports so we can cover North Central West Virginia
weather more accurately and completely.”

See the attached photos.
