@@ SKYWARN NET @@
Beginning February 1, 2009, Skywarn net control stations will be W5DSG, WC5M, W5KGT & KE5UTN. In the event of an activation, we ask all four to come to the EOC. The next few weeks will involve training for those not used to how the system will work. In a few short weeks we will enter the time of greatest severe weather out breaks and all need to be ready. Time will not wait on any of us.
