[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 138793, member: 74"] Re: PSA: Severe eather season has officially started While I will always encourage everyone who is interested in learning about ham radio to study and get licensed; ham radio is about more than just listening to the severe weather nets. Yes, it has a public safety and emergency response component, and many people get into it for those reasons. It really is about learning about and experimenting with radio technology in general. And as live sound guys, we have a vested interest in becoming much more familiar with radios, antennas, RF propagation etc... The NOAA weather radios will give you the exact text of the NWS warnings as well as the type of the hazard occurring, the speed and direction it is moving, and what precautions to take. The Skywarn nets tend to get really confusing and jumbled up with erroneous, imprecise and exaggerated reports by living room storm chaser and whackers who just like to hear themselves talk on the radio. Plus the NOAA weather radios can be purchases for $20-$30 at any Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy etc... [/QUOTE]
