Ham radio involvement with the National Weather Service (NWS) has been
declining.  I've asked Kevin Bogan AH6QO to reestablish our relationship
with the Skywarn HAM system. Note that Skywarn is NOT the same as
Skywarn HAM. Kevin has made good progress and would like to get you
involved too.

From Kevin Bogan, AH6QO via ARRL email:
If you wish to participate in Skywarn and Skywarn HAM, please read the
message below:

    • We need Skywarn Spotter volunteers. Please view the 47 minute
video, follow the instructions and report your results to
sheana.walsh@noaa.gov and liam.tsamous@noaa.gov in order to receive your
Skywarn Spotter number or that you have refreshed your standing with
them.

    • In addition to needing Skywarn Spotters, we need Spotters who
have Amateur Radio license to register with me, kevin.bogan@gmail.com,
to participate in the Skywarn HAM effort supporting NWS HFO. Amateur
Radio operators who have a Spotter number are asked to send me your
name, callsign, Spotter Number and location. Due to privacy issues, NWS
HFO cannot provide me with a list of who is a Spotter nor who has just
received a Spotter number. Please let me know.

    • Here are some useful links:
        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlttvKlyPFk&t=1s
Skywarn Spotter 2019 training video.
        https://www.weather.gov/hfo/skywarn
The Skywarn page at NWS HFO includes criteria for reporting.

    • If you have questions, please ask. Please remember that I am
Skywarn HAM and not an NWS meteorologist at Skywarn. NWS activates
Skywarn HAM not me. I coordinate Skywarn HAM, its training in reporting
and scheduling of HAM staff at NWS HFO.

Thank you for your interest in Skywarn and Skywarn HAM. 
Kevin, AH6QO
