SKYWARN Amateur Radio Recognition Day 2017 was held on Saturday, December 2nd - a day set aside to celebrate and recognize the contributions amateur radio operators provide to the National Weather Service (NWS). SKYWARN Recognition Day began in 1999 as a 'Y2K' exercise but has continued since.
A total of 24 people visited our office on a sunny, balmy early December day (high temperature was 48 degrees). Several operators made contacts with people around the U.S. (and World!), sharing contact and current weather information. There were three (3) radios and antennas operating.
