                    ----------------------------------------
With the severe weather potential likely across Arkansas on both
Wednesday and Thursday, I've been asked to activate "The Weather
Watch Net" sometime during the day late on Wednesday (when storms
enter the National Weather Service Little Rock, Arkansas County
Warning Area).

I used to do these all the time from my apartment, until constant
interference on the repeater, health issues, and inspection criteria
put a damper on that. Since I don't have RF equipment on hand, I
will be loaned some for the event by Arkansas Skywarn (tm).

With the potential magnitude of what this severe weather event may
entail, I would hope that management would make an exception for my
"providing communications essential to the protection of life and
property".

The net is actually a "prelude" to full activation of "Arkansas
Skywarn (tm)". But, due to ongoing renovations at the National
Weather Service in North Little Rock, I may end up doing the entire
episode from my apartment.

In Arkansas, the net will be activated on the W5DI repeater system.

A list of the repeaters is located at:

For those outside of the central Arkansas area, you can LISTEN LIVE
on the internet at:

Details on Arkansas Skywarn are at:

http://www.arkskywarn.org

As it looks now, activation should take place sometime Wednesday
afternoon, and it may last well into Thursday night.

The net will be a DIRECTED Net, and all stations MUST go through
Net Control. Stations failing to comply with directions from Net
Control will be ordered off frequency...and continued failure to
comply will result in action from ARRL Official Observers, and
the FCC, for possible enforcement, due to interfering with a net.
