“SKYWARNTM Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions that volunteer SKYWARNTM radio operators make to the National Weather Service. During the day SKYWARNTM operators visit NWS offices and contact other radio operators across the world.”The following video is a SKYWARN Recognition Day promo using ALERT audio and created by: Kevin Pauley, KB9WVI Public Information – Bloomington Amateur Radio Club, Inc. httpv://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bNhW2XWT9yoALERT will be participating in SKYWARN Recognition Day this year.

ALERT members,
ALERT has an opportunity to set up a recruitment table at the Montgomery Hamfest November 8th.
ALERT has also been invited to have a table at Storm Alert Extreme November 15 at the BJCC which is from 9:30 – 3:30.
Volunteers are needed for both events. Unfortunately it appears I probably won’t be available to attend due to work commitments.
If you can volunteer, let me know.

Hi All,
K4NWS will be fully operational during the SET. I’m looking forward to testing all our systems & modes & contacting as many as possible.
A few items of note, we will continuously monitor 224.500 MHz, PL 100 Hz.
This frequency is our link to Central Alabama Skywarn in Montgomery & also has been used by WX4TPC at the Peachtree City WFO to link with ALERT.
It would be very desirable that EMA’s & groups with 220 MHz capability try this route so we can see how effective it is as a “somewhat secure”
frequency. While there are no truly secure amatuer radio frequencies, this, due to lack of band population, is as close as we get to having one for messages prehaps not meant for public consumption.
444.425 Mhz will be monitored. This has a 131.8 PL tone, and has a plus input on Red Mountain & a minus on Double Oak. We are toying with using this as a dedicated frequency for EMA’s to reach ALERT & hope it will be used.
