The North Central West Virginia ARES Skywarn Net has been activated on the W8MWA two-meter repeater. This is due to a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Marion, Monongalia, Preston and Tucker Counties. (See below.)

We ask all stations who are able to monitor the W8MWA repeater. No check ins are required at this time as we are operating in Standby Mode.

We will post a second message if conditions warrant switching to Active Mode.
