VoIP Hurricane Prep Net Report – Saturday November 16th, 2013
The following stations checked into the VoIP Skywarn Hurricane Prep Net for Nov. 16, 2013. Stations listed may not necessarily be in the order that they checked into the net. Callsign data is taken from the HamData Dot Com website.
Note that just connecting to the Weather Talk Conference Server or an IRLP node (either directly or through a repeater) does NOT qualify as a checkin to the net. You must be acknowledged by Net Control either via voice, or textbox, to get on the log. If you are not acknowledged, your voice or textbox checkin did NOT get through, and you will have to recheck.

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 the December 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 hamradio dot noaa dot gov — 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 2400 UTC Dec. 7, 2013 — or 7pm Eastern Time Dec. 6, 2013 to 7pm Eastern Time Dec. 7, 2013.
