Hams on Hand as Tornados Sweep through Georgia, Downtown Atlanta
From the ARRL Letter, Vol. 27, No. 11
I was not able to participate in the nets on the 146.970 and 146.745 repeaters during and after March 15, 2008's severe weather because I was at work. On my way to work I was able to participate in an informal Skywarn Net on 146.745 along with Bob, KB4GNX, Greg, N4VAD, Ken, KI4TYO and several others.
The April Issue of Key Klix (the Amateur Radio Club of Savannah) will have an article on Savannah and Effingham Co. amateur radio operations from the Tornados. I will also post the article here after Key Klix is published.
When tornados swept through Georgia this past weekend, Amateur Radio operators were on hand to assist where needed. On Friday, March 14, an EF-2 tornado touched down in downtown Atlanta at 9:38 PM (local time). The National Weather Service said the twister was 6 miles long and 200 yards wide. Downtown Atlanta was a busy place that evening; not only was there a professional basketball game, college basketball fans were in town for the SEC tournament at the Georgia Dome. Due to the tornadoes, the final college game of the day was postponed until the next day. According to reports, the tornado blew off portions of the roof of the Georgia Dome.
An EF-2 tornado has wind speeds from 111-135 MPH. In such a tornado, roofs are torn off well-constructed houses, foundations of frame homes are shifted, mobile homes can be completely destroyed, large trees are snapped or uprooted, light-object missiles are generated and cars can be lifted off the ground.
ARRL Georgia Section Manager Susan Swiderski, AF4FO, said "William Chandler, KG4JTK, went from house to house in the wind and the rain checking for any injuries in the homes that had sustained damage by falling trees and debris. At the same time, he issued reports via radio to Barry Kanne, W4TGA, the Emergency Coordinator for neighboring DeKalb County, regarding fallen trees, billboards, power lines and other threats to public safety. Barry relayed this information to the Atlanta 911 center and to the Grady Hospital Emergency Operations Center." DeKalb County is directly to the east of Fulton County; Atlanta is the county seat of Fulton County.
The City of Atlanta Web site reported that "[e]xtensive damage has been reported to a number of landmark buildings in downtown, including the Omni Hotel, Georgia World Congress Center, CNN Building, the Georgia Dome and Phillips Arena and homes and businesses in nearby neighborhoods." The Red Cross opened a shelter at Central Recreation Center with plans to keep it open until Tuesday, March 18. There was "no external damage" to Hartsfield International Airport.
Eyewitness accounts said that "huge hunks of metal and broken glass were everywhere [in Atlanta], as well as overturned cars and benches in the road. Olympic Centennial Park is a mess." The high winds caused major damage to several other landmarks including the Georgia World Congress Center. Many hotels and office buildings had their windows blown out. Grady Memorial Hospital, the major trauma center for the Atlanta metro area, had its 100 foot tall communications tower blown off the hospital roof, disabling the ability to communicate with emergency medical personnel.
ARRL Georgia Section Traffic Manager Charles Pennington, K4GK, served as Net Manager during the storms: "After several hours of recovery and damage assessment, it became obvious that while Atlanta had received major damage to downtown area, there were no fatalities reported and amazingly only 21 persons were treated for injuries." Two fatalities were reported in northwest Georgia.
Effingham County
In Effingham County, near Savannah on Georgia's coastline, Swiderski said a tornado "took down six power towers during the annual St Patrick's Day celebrations," thrusting the community into "total blackout conditions."
"A local 2 meter SKYWARN net, with Greg Tillman, N4VAD, serving as NCS, provided a vital link with the staff at Memorial University Medical Center in Savannah. Dr Ra Meguiar, N4RVM, a physician and senior hospital administrator, later sent a letter of appreciation in recognition of the local hams 'for staying with us through the weather and the power outage.' He said that this was his first experience in participating in a severe weather net and the 'support was invaluable,'" Swiderski said.
According to Swiderski, reports came mostly through the linked repeater system, "usually from a liaison from one of the many local nets that were going on in county after county, but there were also reports from stand-alone hams who had the misfortune of being in an affected area. There were reports of wall clouds, funnel clouds and hailstones -- large hailstones, sometimes as large as baseballs."
Tillman said that discovered that two mobile homes were completely destroyed and one was "tossed like a rag doll, rolling over numerous times 100 feet from its foundation where the anchors were pulled up from the ground." Nearly a dozen other homes and automobiles were damaged; five people from Effingham were transported to the local hospital for treatment and evaluation, he said.
"In some of the counties, this event was a true 'baptism under fire' for brand new Emergency Coordinators," Swiderski said. "I'm pleased to say that they all conducted themselves and all of the challenges admirably."

FT-897D Added to the Monitoring Post
This afternoon I added a new piece of gear to my shack: a Yaesu FT-897D. The concept is to replace the FT-2600 and DX-394 with a single radio and add the capability to work 2-meter and 6-meter sideband. With delivery of the 897, I now have the radio to do that, all I need to do now is to set myself up with horizontally polarized 2-meter and 6-meter antennas to work sideband with. This radio will also serve as the encouragement to finish studying for my general class exam and get around to taking the test. Not that I plan on working much HF, but it would be nice to have the privileges.
In getting hooked up and testing the radio out, it has become apparent that the time has come to replace the coax for the 2-meter antenna and probably the antenna itself. The coax run is over 10 years old and is probably the cause of my recent decrease in reception. The antenna is a 2-meter hamstick; which I will probably replace with a multiband 6/2/70cm antenna. Also planned is a relocation of the antenna to reduce the length of feedline needed.

Lockheed C-5M Callsigns
This afternoon I heard LOCKHEED 111 at Hunter AAF in Savannah and with SEALORD in the offshore warning areas. I never heard a type ID on LOCKHEED 111 so I did some research to find out who it was. My research indicates that LOCKHEED 111 is one of the C-5Ms, construction number 500-0111.
My research also revealed what is some useful info for plane-spotters. This may not be news to everyone, but it seems that the C-5M callsigns for Lockheed are based on the aircraft's construction number. LOCKHEED 99 is c/n 500-0099 and LOCKHEED 111 is c/n 500-0111.

Hazardous Weather Outlook - Spotter Activation Likely Needed
Severe Weather is expected this afternoon and evening into tonight. This morning, I've already heard some emergency services agencies getting equipment and apparatus ready for fallen trees, wind damage, etc. from the storms. It will be a good idea to monitor a weather alert radio today due the chance of damaging winds, hail, and tornados. It may be a good idea to keep a scanner tuned to area emergency services starting early this afternoon to keep up with what is going on in your community. Amateur Radio operators should monitor the 146.970 and 146.745 repeaters for Skywarn activity; non-hams can listen in as well for real-time weather reports should a Skywarn net be activated.
