Although the SS warm up is only 30 minutes

The 11th annual SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) will take place this year
on Saturday, December 5. Radio amateurs will operate from many National
Weather Service (NWS) offices around the United States.The purpose of
the event is to recognize Amateur Radio operators for the vital public
service they perform during times of severe weather and to strengthen
the bond between radio amateurs and their local National Weather
Service office. The event is co-sponsored by the American Radio Relay
League and the National Weather Service.
Traditionally, hams have assisted the National Weather Service during
times of severe weather by providing real-time reports of severe events
and storm evolution. The assistance that radio amateurs provide to the
NWS throughout the year is invaluable.
SKYWARN Recognition Day this year will be held from 0000 UTC to 2400
UTC on Saturday, December 5, 2009. (That means the event officially
begins on Friday evening in the United States). To learn more, check
the NOAA Web site.
