There will be a multi-media presentation on all aspects of SKYWARN at
the 10-70 Repeater Association's Monthly Meeting on Wednesday, evening
November 4 2009 starting at 7:30PM. Included in the presentation will
be information on several recent Severe Weather events in the greater
Bergen-Passaic County area, accompanied with data from actual
post-Storm Surveys done at the request of the NWS, including photos of
storm damage as submitted to the NWS as ground truth verifications of
severe weather.

Additional items to be included will be recorded audio excerpts from
active SKYWARN Nets, a new video, made at the recent NWS Upton NY Open
House event, showing on-duty staff in the process of issuing severe
weather warnings for Bergen County and other areas (this took place on
Aug 2 2009) and a complete and in-depth look at how SKYWARN operates
and is organized across the country with its over 260,000 NWS trained
SKYWARN Spotters, both with amateur radio support and well as with
other means of direct communication methodologies from the field
directly to an on-duty NWS meteorologist in times of developing or
occurring severe weather.

The 1070 Repeater Association notes that all are invited to attend, be
they current SKYWARN Spotters, amateur radio operators or not. Anyone
interested in learning more about the SKYWARN Program is invited and
encouraged to attend. Please pass this information along to others who
might be interested in learning more about SKYWARN.

A question and answer period on SKYWARN and related matters will
follow the presentation.
