[CQ-Contest] This should make for an interesting challenege sincethe NCC warm-up for SS is also Friday night

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

The SKYWARN event will coincide (on the calendar) with the ARRL 160 meter
contest and the ARRL International EME Competition.

Ah, somehow, I don't think this will be a problem for any of those three
events, to say nothing of SS this coming weekend.  But maybe that's just me.

73, ron w3wn

 Although the SS warm up is only 30 minutes
 it could be interesting
 maybe they are in the high portion of the bands....
 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.
