Skywarn Recognition Day

Saturday, 6 December 2008, was Skywarn Recognition Day. As part of SRD 2008, there were amateur radio operators at over 100 National Weather Service offices operating special event stations. Before going to work yesterday, I worked 15 of those stations:

N0W - NWS Grand Junction, CO
K0DMX - NWS Des Moines, IA
WX5NWC - NWC Norman, OK
WX3PIT - NWS Pittsburgh, PA
W5A - NWS Little Rock, AR
WX4RNK - NWS Blacksburg, VA
WX9ILX - NWS Lincoln, IL
WX4TOR - NWS Ruskin, FL
WX0GLD - NWS Goodland, KS
W9NWS - NWS Indianapolis, IN
W4P - NWS Paducah, KY
WX4NWS - NWS Louisville, KY
W0NWS - NWS Omaha/Valley, NE
NA4CC - NWS Greenville/Spartanburg, SC
WX4PTC - NWS Peachtree City, GA

All but two of the above stations were worked on 40-meters. Band conditions on 20-meters didn't seem to be very good. WX0GLD and W0NWS were the two stations I worked on 20-meters.
