The Treasure Coast Weather Network has once again been invited to
assist the amateur radio operators of the NWS in Melbourne and the
Brevard Skywarn Group in operating the amateur radio stations of the
NWS, WX4MLB during the annual Skywarn Recognition Day.
This event is sponsored by the NWS and the ARRL and the purpose of this
event is to give the amateur community throughout the country and world
the opportunity to contact the participating NWS offices throughout the
country.
Numerous modes of communications are being used/ This year from
Melbourne we will be operating the vhf, uhf, hf and Echolink modes and
will be using voice, cw, rtty and psk.
In order to keep the stations on the air during this event we are in
need of operators. We are looking for volunteers who can operate for an
hour, couple hours half a day or the whole event. There is a particular
need for cw operators.
If interested please contact Wayne, KA1VRF at ka1...@bellsouth.net ,
during the TCWN Net on Sunday evenings at 2100 hrs on the 146.775
repeater or call at 772-569-8151 (Vero number).
This is a fun event for both the participating NWS offices as well as

or via the airwaves.
