[warn-l] Brief highlights from 2001 wrap-up meeting

[Steve Lewis N8TFD]

The "wrap-up" meeting for the 2001 SkyWarn "season" was held yesterday.
The
list of highlights is brief, because it was a very quiet season throughout
the Wilmington NWS coverage area.

- The NWS special event for 2001 will be held on Saturday, 12/1. (UTC
time,
  so the operating hours are 11/30 at 7pm to 12/1 at 7pm). For more
details,
  check http://hamradio.noaa.gov/ on the web.

- NOAA WX radio:  Plans are coming together to add transmitters in
  Maysville (300W), Owenton (1KW), and Richmond IN (300W?)

- SAME update:  The NWS is getting things in order to begin transmitting 
  Civil Emergency Messages (CEMs) on NOAA WX radio.  You will have to add
this
  to your SAME receiver programming to be alerted to riots/hazmat
incidents,
etc.
