SKYWARN

After a prolonged absence, SKYWARN is back in Coconino County!  Conducted under the auspices of the Flagstaff Office of the National Weather Service, SKYWARN is an affiliation of trained observers who report unusual or potentially hazardous weather phenomena to the National Weather Service and can be called upon in times of crisis to provide local weather conditions as they pertain to emergency or disaster situations.

Reporting criteria can be found at :

                Summer Reporting Criteria                                  Winter Reporting Criteria

 

     

The Coconino County SKYWARN is managed by Scott Martin, KY7A.  Coconino County SKYWARN meets each Monday night at 1900 MST (Arizona) for practice and information pertinent to SKYWARN operations. Coconino County SKYWARN uses the 146.980 repeater, which requires a negative offset and a PL tone of 162.2.  This repeater is located atop Mount Elden and is maintained by the Arizona Repeater Association. In the event of repeater failure the SKYWARN Net will be conducted on 146.980 simplex, with close-in stations relaying for outlying stations.  All licensed amateur radio operators residing in or visiting Northern Arizona are invited and encouraged to participate in the weekly SKYWARN Net. For data readouts from portable remote operated Weather Stations In the Grand Canyon, follow this link and enter call sign WX7FGZ-1 or WX7FGZ-2. SNOW BOWL SKI LIFT is WX7FGZ-3.
