NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE STORM SPOTTER TRAINING ONLINE IN MARCH!

The National Weather Service’s Birmingham office will conduct it’s Spring Storm Spotter Training, a part of the SKYWARN program.  This training is online, and it is free.  The sessions are around one hour for basic, and around one hour for advanced.  Considering the risk of adverse weather in the U.S., this training is beneficial even if you do not plan to work as a storm spotter.  The training schedule can be found at the link below.

Parks On The Air Update

 Outside the Parks on the Air community, POTA is usually described in simple terms: it’s growing quickly. What that growth reveals about the current state of amateur radio is the more important story.  Brief Update Video Linked Below.

Parks on the Air's Explosive Growth and the Next Chapter

LEE COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS FORM LoRa MESH NETWORKING STUDY GROUP


Several Lee County amateur radio operators have put together an informal study group to consider the feasibility of implementing a structured LoRa network in the area. It's exciting that members of our East Alabama Amateur Radio Club (EAARC) will take important roles in this group.  Jerry Rice - KB9V leads the group. As we know, this modality continues to grow globally.  While it may not be of interest to every amateur operator, it is indeed amateur operators that are driving the advancement of LoRa mesh networking in the U.S. 

ALABAMA HAS A NEW POTA PARK


Parks on the Air has recently designated the Fort Toulouse Forever Wild Tract as a POTA Park.  This is a separate Entity and is not connected to Fort Toulouse Historical Park (US-6460) (NOT eligible for a 2fer). Take US 231 north towards Wetumpka to Fort Toulouse Road. Go approximately 2 miles and the tract will be located on your left. Below is a link to the park's POTA website.
