[Joanne Dolan]

So easing to confuse the two! I’ve done this on my own radio and wondered why I couldn’t hear the Net. 😂

>> Hi everyone,

>> Follow up to my previous email. Here's the info on our guest speaker for this month from BARS President, Doug Bruce:
>> 
>> Our featured speaker will be Rob Macedo, KD1CY, who will be giving the club an overview on SKYWARN.
>>  
>> Skywarn is something virtually every BARS member can participate in and it uses the Westford Repeater for all local Skywarn activations. It is very helpful during winter weather and summer storms. Skywarn reports are used by virtually all the major Boston TV stations too. It would be good to get BARS more involved in this.
>>  
>> Rob is also on Tom Walsh K1TW’s ARRL staff and has close ties to the National Weather service and the Weather Channel. Rob may also appear at times on local TV and Radio.
>> 
>> I have personally seen Rob's presentation a few times now and it's excellent. I hope you will join us on Wednesday at 7 pm to learn more about SKYWARN. As I mentioned previously, you should be receiving an email from Bruce Anderson in the next day or so with the Zoom info for this meeting.
