Also, today we are able to announce that on Saturday April 10, 2010 the Wilmington NWS office will present an advanced spotter training course hosted by the Weather Amateur Radio Network (WARN). The exact content of the course is just being finalized, now that we know we have a facility and how long the class will be. For more information on this course, see
http://www.warn.org/advanced/. Initial details are listed there so you can mark your calendar. Complete details will be added shortly.
ILN teaches one of these courses each year somewhere in their CWA, and it moves around between Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati. This year it will be in the Cincinnati area. It was last in this area in 2007 and will probably be a few years until it returns. The content changes each time, and they usually include something topical about recent weather events.
