N8QHV’s 9 February training was about the 26th Annual Ohio State University Meteorology Club’s Severe Weather Symposium
For anyone who was unable to attend the National Weather Service (NWS) presentation on the May 2019 tornado outbreak, below is the link to watch. The Video runs 2:11 (two hours and 11 minutes), but is very informative.
Inside The Outbreak: A Look Back at the Memorial Day 2019 Tornado Outbreak
The Preble county VHF repeater (145.470Mhz (-) 100pl) is back on air with a new Fusion repeater. We are capable of analog and digital.
The backup repeater is on UHF (442.900Mhz (+) 100hz pl) and is a Fusion repeater also.
All ARES and Skywarn operations are to switch back to VHF.
We would appreciate some signal checks around the district.
