A few other notes:

1) An Online Skywarn Spotter Training Course is available if your area National Weather Service (NWS) Office is not currently offering Skywarn Storm Spotter Training classes. The course takes approximately 2 hours to complete, and helpful links are on this page. This course link is accepted by most NWS Offices, in lieu of attending an “in person” class. Type in “Online Storm Spotter Training Course” in your favorite search engine, and look for the words MetEd in the link, then click on it for more information.

2) The net meets every Saturday night through November at 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, and 5pm Pacific Time. For December through May, the net meets the first Saturday of the month ONLY…and that net is ONE HOUR EARLIER, immediately following Skywarn Recognition Day activities. The other “off season nets” meet the first Saturday of the month only at the regular time.

3) More information on Skywarn Recognition Day is at www wrh dot noaa dot gov slash mtr slash hamradio — you can also search for “Skywarn Recognition Day” with your favorite search engine, and click on the desired link. This years event is from 0000 UTC to 2359 UTC Dec. 7, 2013 — or 7pm Eastern Time Dec. 6, 2013 to 7pm Eastern Time Dec. 7, 2013.

4) More information on the group is at the website at www dot voipwx dot net — and on Facebook at www dot facebook dot com slash voipwxnet
