[Jim Grupa]

>From La Crosse office of the National Weather Service

Through the cooperation of local amateur radio operators, our office hopes =
to participate in the annual SKYWARN Recognition Day on Saturday, December =
5th.  It celebrates the contributions volunteer Amateur Radio operators mak=
e to the National Weather Service via the SKYWARN storm spotting and report=
ing program.  Locally we are blessed with so many dedicated folks that help=
 us out year after year.

On that day we will be making contacts with other amateur radio operators a=
nd NWS offices around the country using HF and other bands.  All amateur ra=
dio operators who participate in the SKYWARN program are more than welcome =
to join us on Saturday, December 5th.  We could use help operating radios o=
r logging.  Office tours are also available as our special guests.

The official web site is at:   http://hamradio.noaa.gov/

Overall, it is a fun, relaxing day and chance to meet other operators from =
around our forecast area.  We would like to see more of you and could certa=
inly use some help operating on all different bands.  We will probably be i=
n full swing from 8am to 3-4pm.

Please feel free to spread the word to your clubs or amateur radio storm sp=
otters that you know of.
