Hey Anthony,

As of now, our talk is still on. However, if there is a government shutdown this Friday, we will unfortunately have to reschedule the talk to a later date. Just be aware of that possibility!

Hi Anthony,

I’ve been on out of town the past week and a half, but I go back to the office tomorrow. I will find out then and let you know!

? Hey Sam,

With the uncertainty going on throughout the federal workforce right now, I wanted to see if we were still on for next week?

Sounds great Anthony! I was planning on talking about pretty much everything you said - radar, satellite, forecasting, and some other topics for roughly 1 hour. I'll bring my own Windows laptop and I'll have the powerpoint on there, but also on a USB drive just in case. Thanks again for having us!

Sam,

I wanted to message you directly and see what assistance I can be with
regard to presenting for the Plano Amateur Radio Club. Many of u are
active with Skywarn, and the PARK repeater is used for weather reporting
to the NWS.

I didn't have a fixed idea of a topic when I reached out, but because of
our sporadic interaction with the NWS, and the dramatic weather
conditions DFW has, from ice storms, to tornadoes, extreme heat,
possibly even a hurricane, and severe storms that can form directly on
top of us with little to no warning other than the NWS can forecast it
based on things nobody else can see there can be a lot to talk about in
terms of how forecasting is done.

Then also technologies involved, from Doppler radar, satellite imagery,
to other technologies. Explaining what the NWS does, and what commercial
entities may also do as well.

We have a decent sized LCD screen that the audience can see from their
seats, we have an HDMI cable that goes to our laptop and we've got a
clicker. You are free to bring your own laptop or whatever, and plug it
in if that's easier, or just a Powerpoint on a USB stick.
We can set up a table if there's other stuff to present as well.

Just let me know what you might need.

Our meeting starts at 7p, and we take care of club business first,
generally about half an hour, then a short break, and then the program,
so you can come just to present and we can set you during the break. Or
you can come for the meeting and learn a bit about what we have going
on., including our plans to expand coverage of the PARK repeater deeper
and more reliably into Collin county.
