2025 National Weather Service Spotter Training

The National Weather Service has not yet posted it’s Weather Spotter/SKYWARN training schedule for this year.  There will be a notice here when that happens.

As of right now, the only confirmed Spotter Training I have information on is for Montgomery County:

Saturday, March 8th at Miami Valley Hospital at 9:00AM – Noon.

Due do staffing shortages at NWS, there were not be as many in-person training sessions as in past year, and you are encouraged to take advantage of their online sessions when they become available.

More details as they become available

New ARRL Emergency Communications Courses 1 April 2024

We  will be releasing the first 2 new EmComm courses April 1.  Basic EmComm and Intermediate EmComm will be live in the ARRL Learning Center April 1.  With the new courses being released the legacy courses will be removed April 1.  Anyone who is currently enrolled in EC-001 or EC-016 will need to complete these courses by April 1 to receive credit for them.  We hope to have Advanced EmComm and ARES Leadership courses complete by early summer.
