Hi, all.
Well, in addition to working the ARRL 160-meter CW contest this week-end, I
also operated in the NWS Skywarn Recognition Day event yesterday from the
Grand Rapids, MI NWS office.
My XYL and I worked the 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. shift, and probably put at least
100 contacts in the log. We worked not only people from their home
stations, but a number of NWS offices as well.
When I was down there working the event, I realized I should have posted the
Grand Rapids NWS office call sign on the list, so anyone interested could
have looked for us. Just for information, it was WX8GRR.
We started our shift on 40 meters, but moved to 20-meters around 11 a.m. or
so. The switch to 20 meters turned out nicely, because, as expected, our
coverage area expanded greatly. Some of the people observing what we were
doing seemed to be extremely impressed, which made the experience all the
more positive.
Already looking forward to next year!
