The net is now meeting on the FIRST SATURDAY OF THE MONTH *ONLY*, now that it is the hurricane “off season”. The net will go back to every Saturday on June 4, 2016. In short, if you show up any Saturday besides the first Saturday of February, March, April, or May…you won’t find anyone here.
There is a possibility that the off season nets (January through May) will have “training presentations”. On those nights, checkins and comments will be taken by Net Management, and possibly Skywarn Coordinators ONLY. All other checkins will be CALLSIGNS ONLY, to allow plenty of time for the Training Presentations. Watch the Yahoo Groups and Facebook page for updates on both of these items.
