Amateur Radio and Skywarn Training
Amateur radio operators have a long history of being involved with Skywarn and severe weather spotting. Spotters will report their local weather conditions on their local Skywarn Nets (147.21+ PL88.5 W8WOO in Wayne, 147.27+ PL110.9 W8VPV in Summit) during severe weather. The Skywarn liaison station will then relay appropriate reports to the national weather service over the liaison net. This is the perfect opportunity to receive training or to brush up on your spotting knowledge for those interested.
