NEWS RELEASE – January 23 2009
        The National Weather Service Indianapolis office, in conjunction with 
Illiana Skywarn, is sponsoring a Severe Weather Spotters' Training Class. The 
class will take place on Monday, February 22,  at 7:00 P.M., EST at the 
Glas-Col Apparatus annex, at 1715 S. 8th St. It is a former post office. On 
Hulman, go one block east of 7th St.  and turn south on 8th. It's the first 
building on the right.
        This two-hour class is designed to train all emergency and/or law 
enforcement personnel, as well as the public in how to properly identify and 
report severe weather events to the National Weather Service. These events 
include hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds, tornadoes and other weather 
phenomenon related to severe thunderstorms. This class is free and open to the 
public. Seating is available on a first come, first served basis.
Our main presenter will be David Tucek, Warning Coordination Meteorologist for 
the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
Since 1974, Illiana Skywarn has used Amateur Radio to exchange timely severe 
weather related information with the National Weather Service office in 
Indianapolis. Amateur Radio operators work in conjunction with the National 
Weather Service, through their Skywarn program, to report severe weather events 
as they are happening. This information is used in conjunction with weather 
service radar data to issue weather warnings to protect the public.

Amateur radio operators, a talk-in will be on the 145.23 Skywarn system.
