The net for next month will be Saturday, May 7, 2016, with the net going back to every Saturday on June 4, 2016.
There is a possibility that the May, 7, 2016 net will have a “training presentation”. If so, 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. There was no Training Presentation for the April 2, 2016 net.
An announcement for the yearly pre-hurricane season WX4NHC Station Test will be made sometime in May.
Watch the Yahoo Groups and Facebook page for updates on all of these items.
