[warn-news] Sunday severe weather threat and amateur radio Field Day

[Steve Lewis]

Summer 2023 begins with the possibility of severe weather on Sunday:

For the amateur radio operators out there, or those who are interested 
in becoming involved, the timing is interesting because this weekend is 
Field Day -- an annual exercise where ham radio operators throughout the 
US and Canada set up "field" operations and
attempt to make contact with many others doing the same thing, via 
"voice", "data", and even Morse code.

So the uncertain timing on Sunday is likely a concern.   The "go time" 
for the exercise is 2pm EDT Saturday till 2pm EDT Sunday, with "setup" 
before and "tear down" after that.

Speaking of Field Day...and at the risk of neglecting some of the fine 
operations out there, here are a few in Southwest Ohio that would make a 
fun visit to learn more about the hobby if you've been considering it (I 
intend to visit all of these if I don't run out of time):
