Each year, the National Weather Service marks the first Saturday in December as Skywarn Recognition Day (SRD). It is a way to formally say "Thank You" to our Skywarn Volunteers. Across the country, many Spotters are also amateur radio operators. A central aspect of SRD is a 24 hour event wherein HAMs come in to our office and try to make as many radio contacts as they can with other HAMs from across the country and the world.

The event starts at midnight Greenwich Mean Time/Universal Coordinated Time which is 5 pm Friday (Dec 6). It continues through 5 pm Saturday. If you are interested in volunteering or want to know about the frequencies that will be used, send an email to our HAM radio focal points, Marvin Percha (marvin.percha@...) or Ken Waters (ken.waters@noaa).
