This is WA5UNH opening the SKYWARN Net on the 146.94 repeater. This is a directed net so please listen to the Net Control Operator for instructions. We will be asking for first hand reports of SEVERE weather such as high or damaging winds, heavy rain, hail, flooding, etc. We are not interested in where it isn't raining or if you have blue sky overhead. Please only report what the Net Control requests unless you experience an emergency. We are not interested in second hand reports from a TV or Radio station as they normally get their reports from us via the National Weather Service. You may hear a beep periodically in the background. That is the signal to tell you an official SKYWARN Net is under way. The Net Control will always use SARO's club call sign of WA5UNH. This net will be activated by the National Weather Service by calling one of four designate net control operators from ARES.
