Good day ALERT friends, ham radio, Skywarn Spotters!

If you’ve noticed, we’ve taken down our info on BMXSpotterChat, which was served to ALERT by Weather.IM for a number of years. Recently, there was a spammer/bad actor, who prompted the administrator of the server to set every chat room to read-only. Unfortunately, that impacts ALERT, thus we have been testing a new solution, to resolve this issue.

The proposed solution is able to support Skywarn spotters and ALERT membership, as well as separate/private areas, and much more. An email with full details was sent to everyone in our membership/newsletter list.

Calls to Action:

If you haven’t had a chance to attend a meeting in a while, this would be a good one to join, coming up on February 9, 2021, to be introduced to the proposed solution (and voting members, if there’s a vote/motion on the floor).

If you aren’t on our monthly mailing list, or need an invite to the meeting, kick us a message on Facebook, or via email: feedback at alert-alabama dot org. (Please allow up to 48 hours for reply.)

See you at the upcoming virtual meeting!
