Greetings everyone, I am a certified Advanced Storm Spotter located in Northern Illnois.  My amatuer radio call sign is KD9JSA and would like to connect with other amateur radio operators who are storm spotters as well across the USA.

Weather Radios Will Save Your Life

Because you may not hear outdoor warning sirens while you are indoors, it is important to have a tone-activated weather radio as part of your home preparedness plan. Weather radios receive broadcasts from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR), which is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information, as well as emergency information about other natural or environmental disasters or public safety hazards.

Weather radios are reasonable in cost and are manufactured by several companies. They can be purchased at many retail outlets (including electronics, sporting goods, and department stores) and online retailers or directly from manufacturers. If you purchase a weather radio with Specific Alert Message Encoding (SAME) technology, you can specify the particular area for which you will receive alerts. This minimizes the number of "false alarms" for events that may be a few counties away from where you live.
