To be recognized to speak, please use your call sign using alpha phonetics.
Skywarn
There will be no Skywarn activation's by the National Weather Service (NWS) this storm season; this will eliminate the need for Net Controllers as well.
If the NWS activates the Ham paging system, it should be viewed as an indication of possible severe weather. Hams should NOT report to the NWS office.
Rather, monitor the weather in your area and call reports into the NWS
at 701-250-4495 or 1-800-247-0212.
First, identify yourself as a Ham as that identification will lend higher credibility to the report.
Another option is the on-line reporting system: https://www.weather.gov/crh/stormreports?sid= bis
In the event of a report of a rotating wall cloud, funnel cloud, or tornado, it is better to call. That way the forecaster can question you as to the details. If you have video or photos let them know when you call and they will advise you how to send them to their office.
Again, there will be no Net Controllers or activations by the NWS for the entire season.
VE Testing
There will be no license testing until at least August 1st, 2020. If there are changes to the COVID-19 and social distancing, we may modify the August 1st date.
