Winnipeg Amateur Radio Emergency Service
Again this year, members of Winnipeg ARES participated in
the Annual SKYWARN Recognition Day.
SKYWARN Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the US
National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay
League (ARRL).
It celebrates the contributions that volunteer SKYWARN
radio operators make to the National Weather Service.
The event SRD ran for 24 hours beginning at 0000 UTC on
December 4, 2004 with over 100 US National Weather Service
based stations from SKYWARN involved along with our ONE
lonely Environment Canada station :VE4WWO.
During the SKYWARN event, operators operate from NWS
offices and contact other radio operators across the world.
As the SKYWARN program and our Canadian CANWARN program are
very similar in nature, it has been a "natural" that we
participate.
Following are a few photos of some of the memebers
participating from VE4WWO during SKYWARN Recognition Day
2004.
