[XWARN] Statewide Tornado Drill Wed, Mar 18, 9:50 AM Please join the net

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

Wednesday, March 18, is the Ohio Statewide Tornado Drill. We will have a
training net beginning at 9:50 AM on the 147.165 (+offset, PL=123.0)
repeater. All amateur radio operators are encouraged to check in.

Since the net takes place when many are scheduled to be at work, we will
open the net with short time check-ins so that you can take a quick break
to participate and you won't be away from the workplace for very long.

73,
Bob Baker N8ADO

Background Information Regarding the Greene County Net:

We conduct a Greene County Weather Net to collect reports from weather
spotters. Those reports are then relayed to Dayton Skywarn which then
relays the information to the National Weather Service office at Wilmington
OH.

Net name is Greene County Severe Weather Net
Normal Frequency is 147.165 (+offset, PL=123.0)
Back-up is 147.045 (+, 118.8)

Severe Weather is considered to be indicated by the following conditions:

1. Tornadoes, funnel clouds, or rotating wall clouds.
2. Hail in excess of one half inch. Please report size in inches.
3. Wind gusts in excess of 50 miles per hour or more.
4. Flooding of streams, creeks, or rivers out of their banks.
