Spotter Class on Saturday (3/3/2007)

The Howard County EMA and the Indianapolis office of the National Weather Service is holding a Spotter Training Class at 1 PM. While many spotters are Ham radio operators, you don't have to be one. Anyone can attend the training.

However, there is an upcoming class sponsered by the Kokomo Ham Club. You can get your Technician License in just a few weeks of study. Please see their website for additional details.

Also, for more information about spotters, the Skywarn network, please visit the Central Indiana Skywarn website. Also, Radio Reference has a complete listing of Skywarn/Spotter frequencies available. You can monitor these with older scanners or even inexpensive racing scanners.

(I am a ham radio operator and you can visit my website here.)
