Annual Skywarn Training

Learn more about the weather from National Weather Service (NWS) professionals.
To minimize a scheduling conflict with Hamcation 2025 (Orlando, FL), the typical date for our local Annual NWS Skywarn Training for 2025 has been slightly advanced. Training is now scheduled for Tuesday, February 4, 2025, instead of a Friday night schedule. This change is compatible with the National Weather Service’s training schedule and has been approved by NWS.
As this date falls on a Tuesday night, the normal weekly Skywarn Training Nets (Amateur Radio & GMRS) will not be conducted to prevent a conflict with this important annual training event and give an opportunity for Skywarn participants to attend and enjoy the annual training session and get to meet NWS personnel.
We are also pleased to announce that annual training will be at the new Harrison Community Center on Highway 58. CLICK HERE for details.

You Can Be a Helping Ham
Not only are Amateur Radio Operators known for helping each other (Elmering), we help our communities with Public Service even when disasters have not occurred. This great video provides insight as to why we do what we do for the good of our nation, our communities, and our neighbors. This video references a popular event in the Upper Penisula of Michigan.
The Lone Ranger Wellness Net
The net was created as a daily check-in for members of the amateur radio community, no matter their QTH, who wish to have someone check in on them to make sure they’re OK. So, if you live alone, you are disabled, if you need some help with a chore, or you’re just wanting someone to check in on you, then this net is here for you.
Join us nightly on the Chattanooga TN repeater 146.790 or on Echolink Node 79190.
