During really bad weather listen to the Danvers 145.47 machine. It becomes a Skywarn net and the traffic is interesting to listen to.
Some of the hard core ones pay for a weather radar service that's so good I've heard them saying the cell is "running straight down Main st. and will be over your location in 5 minutes". I use the Intellicast interactive weather map to watch where the nasties are and are headed. It's fun knowing just when you're going to get the snot knocked out of you.

I should be able to hear Danvers...I need to find out which Repeaters are good for where I live that I can report on.

There's always the phone and web, but what fun is that?
Was the class given by Rob Macedo from Taunton? I took his class a year ago and liked it.
The Taunton skywarn site (wx1box.org) has a list of Skywarn repeaters.
I also sighed up for their emails. Whenever nasty weather is headed our way he sends out a synopsis. I can't find the link to sign up, but I bet he gave it to you at the class.
Yea, that's who taught it. And, it was in Taunton as well. LOL!
I'm goingto have to sign up as well...
I do have echolink running at my house..on a laptop and several PCs. So if I can't get to them from our Attleboro Repeater...or if I can't reach Fairhaven then I'll use the base if I'm at home to hit Bridgewater.

I might have to check that out
Just took the class at MCLA in North Adams (From NWS Albany) last night. Good info, was cool to see local statistics for severe events over the last year and since the 50s. For those in western ma, they have an advanced class in Albany NY on 5/12, can't make it I'll be in Boston at the Sox game!
Congrats!!![[cheers]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/018.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
HAHA, that was quite sometime ago. I do know that our Radio Club is hosting one in a few months. I want to say the Thursday before Field Day.

Doesn't change my congrats though.
