Do meteorologists use amateur radio to contact local E.O.Cs for harsh weather warnings? If you don't know what Ameteur Radio is I suggest www.eham.net to learn more Aaron B. Fairfield, CT

Meteorologists sometimes use networks of amateur radio operators to report severe weather like hail or tornadoes. These are called "skywarn" networks. I'm a ham radio operator, and I'm teaching a class on ham radio this semester! I even have a fun TicTacToe game to let folks practice on the ham radio exam questions! My call sign is "W5TAR" and I am "extra"-class. Ham radio operators are especially useful in emergencies. I volunteered during Katrina, for example, and many hams helped in communications during Katrina, Rita, 9/11 and other emergencies.
