  1) At lunch time, sit in your parked car and point a hair dryer at passing
      cars,  to see if they slow down.

  2) Page yourself over the intercom. (Don't disguise your voice)

  3) Insist that your e mail address be:

  **AnD tHe FiNal wAy tO aNnOy PeOple:
  Send this e-mail to everyone in your address book, even if they sent to
  you or have asked you not to send them stuff like this.

Very good information Robin.  Most of that stuff can't be stressed enough.
I for one, have heard nets as you described as "poor" nets.  Unfortunatly -
nothing gets done and nothing gets reported.  This is NOT what we are trying
to do - so is the reason for weekly on the air meetings in addition to our
monthly in person meetings.  Training is the place where we all get better
at what we do (or can do).

Some helpful information - Robin and all - I found out how to turn on
attachments!   You can now leave attachments to your postings.  Remember t
hat some people have a  time with certain information - web tv users for
instance, can have a little more problem with some graphics than the rest of
us.  Try to make your attached files conform to a standard that we can all
view.

Also, no more interveining(sp?) when a new user comes on board.  I have
changed it so all who joins are unmoderated.  This will make the task of
moderating this list easier for myself and Robin.  I have invited all who
signed up at the RACES meeting tonight to join the list - I'm sure they will
in time.  Lets make everyone feel at home here.

Have a good night and I hope to see all of you at the training Saturday.  I
think a refresher class won't hurt anyone.

TRAINING For SKYWARN NET PARTICIPANTS

Please let me know what you think about this type of material and the way it
is disseminated.

Robin Terrill Broward County Skywarn Coordinator..
Steve Smith Broward County Assistant Skywarn Coordinator



Weather nets are primarily concerned with what we are observing RIGHT NOW.
Always remember that your first priority for reporting events is to furnish
information used to warn people so that they may seek safety and avoid
injury or death. The second priority is to safeguard property from as much
damage as possible. Property can be replaced . . . Life cannot.
NET A: The unfortunate truth . . . what it often is.
A weather net that is manned by untrained observers and inexperienced Net
Control Station is very easy to identify. There is endless chatter about
rainfall, thunder and lightning, and mobile units are going every which-way.
The Net Control Station has given poor (if any) instructions, has very
little control of anything, is often ignored, and is constantly plagued with
repeated requests for direct contacts between participating operators;
resulting in meaningless personal chatter. The majority of net
communications have absolutely nothing to do with severe weather. If it
applies, this is an unfortunate, unnecessary, and dangerous situation. It is
a negative reflection on the Amateur Radio Service and your local
organization..
NET B: The ideal.
A weather net manned by well trained observers and Net Control Station
operators, is quiet by comparison. The NCS is in total control. Instructions
have been clear, concise, repeated often and are carefully observed by the
spotters. Spotter reports are related only to true severe weather
conditions. There is no talk of rain, lightning or thunder. There is no idle
chatter. The Spotters are working from stationary, prearranged observation
points. Mobile units are at a minimum and only move at the request of the
NCS. It's professional, it's efficient, it's valuable, it has a positive
impact, and it's safe for everyone.
WHAT TO DO (AND NOT DO) ON THE RADIO
Rule #1. The Net Control Station is in complete charge of a directed net. Do
not engage in any transmission without permission from the NCS.
Rule #2. LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN AND LISTEN constantly and especially before
transmitting.
Rule #3. Net Control will give net check-in instructions and observation
requests at the beginning of a net and repeat them as often as possible.
Stations should check into the net as instructed and Report only those
things that Net Control has requested. Please pay attention to these
requests, as they may change during the course of the net operation.
Rule #4. Once you have checked in to any net, do not leave that frequency
without notifying the Net Control Station (NCS).
Rule #5. If you are given an assignment to be in a particular place, go
there and stay there. Do not move from your position or your transmitter
without notifying the NCS; unless you are in immediate danger.
Rule #6. If it is imperative that you must communicate directly with another
operating station on the net, ask for permission from the NCS. Ragchewing,
little side comments and personal transmissions are not to be made during a
directed net.
Rule #7. DO NOT check-in in the middle of fast moving net activity, unless
of course, you have a true emergency.
Rule #8. If, during a weather net, an event (like a tornado touchdown) takes
place, a net control operator may announce that there is a RESOURCE,
TACTICAL or STANDBY NET on another frequency or repeater. Stay on your
Skywarn assignment until the Skywarn NCS tells you otherwise. These new nets
are "holding areas" where people are sent to await assignments. The resource
net will have it's own NCS. If there is a Resource Net in operation, any New
Stations checking in should do so on the Resource net.
FIELD SPOTTING GUIDE
WHAT TO REPORT: ALL reports must contain T.E.L. information.(Time, Effect,
Location)
TORNADO ON THE GROUND - A lot of associated debris will be present in the
formation. Definite and concentrated rotation is present. T.E.L.
FUNNEL CLOUD - Virtually no debris, if any at all. Formation will usually be
sucking in and/or giving off smaller rotating clouds. Note: A funnel cloud
is not a tornado . . . it's not on the ground. T.E.L.
WATERSPOUT - Moving towards land or moving away from land. T.E.L.
RAIN - Doesn't Matter!! Reportable ONLY if there is an imminent danger of
flash flooding or if rainfall is at or over inches per hour.
THUNDER - Doesn't Matter!! NEVER reportable.
LIGHTNING - Doesn't Matter!! Reportable ONLY if it has started a fire, hit
electrical service components, knocked a tree or pole into a roadway, or hit
a building, vehicle or person(s). If lightning is coming from a cloud that
is very close to the ground, showing signs of rotation, sucking up debris
and smaller clouds, and moving toward you, call NCS and move or take cover.
WALL CLOUDS - Make sure it's not a rain column!! A rain column will extend
all the way to the ground; a wall cloud won't. Make sure it isn't a Shelf
Cloud. A Shelf Cloud will usually have a "tail" that is fairly level and
pointing in the same direction the storm is moving. A Wall cloud "tail" (if
one is present) will be trailing the direction of the storm and often points
downward. Wall Clouds can and do rotate. Shelf Clouds do not.
ROTATION - Localized small rotations of short duration are common and not
reportable. Rotation of a major nature and/or formation is to be reported if
it is sustained and can be confirmed. If you are not sure of rotation,
report exact location of the suspected formation so that others may observe
and confirm. This is nearly always necessary and most important after dark
and during heavy rainfall, when your vision is restricted.
DRASTIC SUSTAINED WIND SPEED CHANGES - especially if rotation is present in
cloud structures.
WIND RELATED REPORTABLE OBSERVATIONS: These are only things which you are
actually seeing happen. Do not report what happened a short time ago unless
injuries are involved.
Report any wind gusts of 60 MPH or more. (See wind chart)
MULTIPLE trees being blown down or uprooted
Breakage of tree limbs 4 inches in diameter or larger
Downed power lines
Commercial broadcast tower damage
Large permanent sign damage
Windows broken by wind (not debris)
MULTIPLE home TV antennas being blown over/down
Roofing being blown from buildings/homes
Wind-caused vehicle accidents (only if you observe the actual event)
Injuries to people.
SEVERE mobile home damage
MAJOR structural damage to buildings
HAIL - ALL hail should be reported.
SIZES:
Pea size = 1/4 inch
Marble size = 1/2 inch
Dime size = 3/4 inch
Quarter size = 1 inch
Golfball size = 1 3/4 inch
Baseball size = 2 3/4 inch
FIELD SAFETY
STAY PUT!! Do not "chase" any storm if you have not been specially trained
and assigned to do so. Skywarn training does not qualify anyone as a chaser.
Most spotting should be done from a Spotter's home or very close to it.
Stationary observers with an open and clear view are preferred. It is very
important that the NCS knows exactly where his observers are located.
Chasing can be extremely dangerous for even highly trained observers and
deadly for the untrained.
Cars are pretty safe places to be in the presence of lightning and very
unsafe places to be in a tornado.
When spotting outdoors, always have a safe place picked out to protect
yourself from large hail and high winds. Don't wait for the wind to get so
strong that you can't get to cover!
Don't drive across fast moving water. Six inches of fast moving water can
take control of, and move, a small car.
Large hail can KILL! Take cover!!
GENERAL WEATHER STUFF TO REMEMBER
Strong thunderstorms always have anvil shaped tops to the clouds. The more
pronounced the "overshoot" above the anvil, the stronger the storm. The more
vertical the "stem" of the storm cloud, the stronger the storm.
Storms are frequently preceded by a "Gust Front". The strongest winds
associated with a storm are often the first ones that reach you.
If there is a rain free base beneath a bank of clouds, this is where updraft
air currents will occur. Watch along the rain free base for formation of
wall clouds. A wall cloud will form 15-to 20 minutes before a tornado forms.
Wall clouds do not, however, always spawn tornadoes. Usually a wall cloud
/tornado formation will occur at the trailing, or "back" edge of the
thunderstorm.
Large hail falls just ahead of a tornado in many cases; but not always. This
is more common in the case of a large tornado. The presence of hail is a
warning sign that things could get serious in a hurry.
Radar cannot truly see a Wall Cloud or a Tornado!! ONLY a Spotter can
actually verify the presence of a Wall Cloud or Tornado.
A Tornado may or may not have a clearly defined funnel cloud.
Tornadoes usually move in a Southwest - to - Northeast path. The best place
to look for a tornado is in the South-to-West quadrant of the horizon.
Most tornadoes move across land at about 25 to 35 miles per hour; but they
can move at twice that speed!!
HOW TO ESTIMATE WIND SPEED
BEAUFORT CHART
MPH OBSERVATIONS
0 Smoke will rise vertically
1 - 3 Smoke will show slight direction but there is not enough wind to move
a wind vane.
4 - 7 You will feel a breeze on your face, smoke has definite direction,
leaves move a
bit and a wind vane will move.
8 - 12 Leaves will be in constant motion, small twig branches move, flags
extend.
13 - 18 Dust puffs blow, loose paper flies, 1/2 to 1 inch branches move.
19 - 24 Small leafy trees sway and small waves will form on ponds & lakes,
flags whip.
25 - 31 4 inch & larger branches moving, telephone, power wires & chain link
fences
whistle.
32 - 38 Large, whole trees in motion, becomes hard to walk totally upright
against the
wind. Shingles begin to lift.
39 - 46 Green twigs begin to break off. You have to lean into the wind to
walk. Shingles
flap violently.
47 - 54 3 inch or larger green branches break. Chimneys & shingles begin to
tear off. TV antenna masts bend and antennas are destroyed.
55 - 63 Trees begin to uproot. Structural damage starts getting serious.
Large sections of roofs and roofing tear off and fly. Patio roofs and
awnings destroyed. Some
Mobile homes begin to suffer damage. Walking nearly impossible.
64 - 72 Structural damage widespread and major. Mobile homes skins peel.
Entire roofs
blow off and windows blow in. Mobile homes displaced. Cement block parapets
begin to collapse.

Everyone - just thought you might want to see a sample of a newletter from
the relatively new Alachua County Skywarn.....

We should get something like that together also.  Let me have some ideas...

Thanks,
Steve/KE4MDX

Robin et al,

One list doesn't allow attachments to prevent the spread of viruses and
trojan horse type programs.  Good idea - if you want to attach something
(text) you must cut and paste it into the body of the email.

Sorry all.

I think the protection is a good idea though.

     A very good turnout tonight, folks. There appeared to be some enhancement to
the northwest from Pompano (EL96wg) as KE4YYD, David (EL79) & WB4JEM, Jon (EL89)
came booming in (S8-S9)!!! I started the net beaming towards FL15 in the hope of
picking up C6ANY, Lowell, in Nassau,Bahamas,  but no joy. After the net I was
able to bring up the Abacos, Bahamas FM Repeater (145.21) using a DISCONE (!!!!)
up at 15 feet. And that is a distance of 179nm!!!
     We had 25 checkins with our 189th newcomer. Welcome to KS4UC, Chuck from
Naples (EL96).Our farthest north stations were KE4YYD & WB4JEM. To the south was
W4AR, CH in Key Largo, (EL95).
     Folks, I must apologize for not updating the nets homepage recently. I have
suffered a puter crash and am having to reconstruct all my access links & files.
Please bear with me as I try to get back up and running. (What did we ever do
before these silicon monstrosities??)
     A reminder: Next weekend is the ARRL September VHF Contest. All Bands above
50 Mhz. / All Modes. No repeater contacts. It starts at 1pm Saturday (EST) thru
11pm Sunday (EST). And, yes, we will hold the net and let all try to get a few
more qso points. Full details are available in QST or on the ARRL website. BTW,
KE4YYD, David,(EL79) will point his beams to the southeast at each 15min after
the hour. Thanks, David.



  For the folks in Broward County: This Wed. at 7:30pm the Broward Amateur Radio
Club is having their regular meeting. The featured speaker will be Jim Lushur,
Chief Meteorologist with the National Weather Service and Skywarn. You don't
have to be a club member to attend. The address is Sunview Park, 1500 SW 42nd
Ave. Ft. Lauderdale. Talk in is the 146.91 repeater (PL 110.9).
Also on Sat. at the Broward County E.O.C. (201 NW84th Ave., Ft. Lauderdale) from
3pm to 6pm classes will be given for free for Skywarn & Storm Spotters. For info
please call Robin, N4HHP at 954-583-3625.

Robin and I are trying to make this the best SKYWARN group in the state!
And we CAN Do it with everyone's help.  I'm very happy to hear that we have
over two dozen more people wanting to learn about storm spotting.  I'm sure
that most of those will be interested in becoming hams that aren't already
hams.  This should help out with all other aspects of our hobby too.

Lets get some kind of discussion going on!  I hope to see all of you at the
RACES meeting this week too!

Just a note.  I was at the Broward County EOC and finished installing the
software to run the spare weather station at the EOC to be run on one of our
computers in the RACES room.  The nice part about this is that we are also
running APRS. I am looking for a guru to help set up the weather station so
that it can also run on the APRS station.

Keep in mind that the BARC  will have Jim Lushine, Meteorologist of the
Miami NWS will be our guest speaker talking on the topic of severe weather,
what to expect for the remaining of this hurricane season, and last but
least, SKYWARN.

Also keep in mind that we will have a SKYWARN BASIC AND INTERMEDIATE class.
ALL MEMBERS OF THE BROWARD SKYWARN TEAM HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST THE BASIC
COURSE TO BE A MEMBER.  This will be a great refresher course for one and
all. At the present time, there are 30 attending this upcoming class.

Remember that you need not be a ham to attend and join Broward County
SKYWARN.  NO CHILDREN ALOUD!!!

Call me at 954-583-3625 if you plan to attend so that we will have the
necessary supplies.

Plan on having  a brief SKYWARN meeting along with the ARES/RACES meeting
this Thursday night at the EOC.  We will discuss when and how often Broward
Skywarn needs to meet and what training we could pass on.  Keep in mind that
KE4MDX, Steve and I are talking about having a training session which will
be held one night a week on the 146.790 machine at approximately 7:10 PM
right after the weather net which starts at 7:00 PM daily.  Let us know your
thoughts on this.

Again, thank you for your interest in making Broward County a safer place
for you and I and the citizens that live here.


Robin  N4HHP
Broward County Skywarn Coordinator
Broward County RACES Officer

Yes as far as I know for now anyway - we are on.  I do have to get back here
asap - so you can come over here and we'll set up the list for RACES at that
time and you can see my new computer room! hahah  Radio room too really.

I was referring to more mature teens that can drive and have a little common
sense.  I just think that we can also get some interest in ham radio that
way also!

So, I'll make sure any that I find will be ok for us to use as we wish!
hahahha

Talk to you tomorrow!

Steve

Oh yes, I have a good new version of KA9Q's NOS - I'll attach it to an email
later for you.  You really need to check this stuff out - it will make
things much easier for us.

Yes that would be ok... BUT, I feel that they should be mature young adults
and take this task and responsibility seriously.  Can you see a teenager
calling the NWS and while reporting, act their shoe size and not their age?
The NWS would have a tissie

robin..

Are we still on for tomorrow at 5:00 AM    just kidding....5:00 PM?
call me on the cell phone tomorrow..

Robin,

Is that the truth or what?  I can attest to it from personal experience! -
Well, at least the woman part of it anyway!


Steve

And all you sign up your friends too!  By no kids - I think if they are
driving age they will probably be ok for the class - what about that Robin?

So far we have 22 signed up for the skywarn class.  Looking for more to take
this class and become a Broward County Severe Weather Spotter.  No children
will be aloud in the building. So plan accordingly.

I was told this weather joke by Julie Flapan and would like to pass it on to
you.

What does a woman and a hurricane have in common?





















They both twist and turn when they come and take the house and car when they
leave.

Hello all - I realize this has nothing to do with skywarn but I thought it
might be of some interest for all amateurs who have evern worked or thought
about working the russian space station MIR.

Hello to all of you who recently joined the list!

I hope to get some discussion going on here soon.   Just post anythign you
wish to.  In case you don't know how to post messages here - I'll go over
it.  It is very simple.  Just add the following address to your address book
(if you have one for email):

browardskywarn@...

Just send your emails to that address and all on the list will get the
email.  Then when we reply I would appreciate all replies to include the
list as well as the original author if it is appropriate as there maybe a
question asked by a member that others might have wondered about that same
thing but didn't ask it!

And don't forget about the SKYWARN training on the 11th of Sept (Saturday)
from 3 to 6PM.  Please come especially if you need your advanced training!
Bring a friend!  All are welcome and would be appreciated.  Just make sure
that you advise either Robin or myself of the number attending.  We do have
to make sure there is room for everyone.  If there needs to be a second
class we will be glad to arrange that also!

So, this is OUR mailing list - so lets use it!

By the way - I do not know all of you from just call signs -please email the
list and introduce yourself!  Tell us what you joined skywarn for and what
direction you'd like to see skywarn going towards.  All input is valuable.
I want to make this the best SKYWARN group in the state!  I can use ALL of
your help in doing so!

So, apparently this thing is working - so lets see what happens and if we can
get some discussions on it.  I haven't received any emails telling me that new
subscribers want in.   I may pass the information along tonight as soon as I
figure out exactly how to subscribe to it myself! hahhaha

I'll play with it.

See ya later!

BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION LATER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.
