ARLX019 SKYWARN Recognition Day On-the-Air Event is Saturday, December 3

The annual SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) on-the-air activity will take place
Saturday, December 3, from 0000 until 2400 UTC (starts on the evening of
Friday, December 2, in US time zones).

SKYWARN Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service
and ARRL to honor the contributions that SKYWARN volunteers make to the NWS
mission - the protection of life and property during threatening weather.
During the SKYWARN Special Event, hams will operate from several NWS offices.
W1AW will take part in the event.

The object of the event is for all participating Amateur Radio stations to
exchange contact information with as many NWS stations as possible on 80, 40,
20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meters plus 70 centimeters. Contacts via repeaters are
permitted.

Stations will exchange call signs, signal reports, locations, and a one or
two-word description of the weather at their respective locations (e.g.,
"sunny," "rainy," "partly cloudy," "windy". NWS
stations will use various modes, including SSB, FM, AM, RTTY, CW, and PSK31.
While using digital modes, special event stations will append "NWS" to their
call signs (e.g., N0A/NWS).

Event certificates will be electronic and printable from the main website after
 the conclusion of SRD. An online submission form is available to submit your
log summary for SRD at, http://www.arrl.org/srd-form .

A webinar will be offered on November 30 at 0100 UTC (the evening of November
29 in US time zones) in advance of the 18th SKYWARNRecognition Day (SRD) on
December 3. Register for the webinar online at,
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/754... .

The pre-event webinar will cover SKYWARN Recognition Day basics, explain how to
 participate, and alert participants to a few changes in store for 2016. The
webinar will be recorded and posted to the ARRL YouTube channel.
