Congrats Grampa Chuck [AE7ZZ]!

Terrific news about your new bouncing Grand-Baby
Oliver!

OLIVER
GENDER: Masculine

OTHER SCRIPTS: Оливер (Serbian, Macedonian)
PRONOUNCED: AHL-ə-vər (English), AW-lee-ver (German), O-lee-ver (Finnish)   [key]
Meaning & History
From Olivier, a Norman French form of a Germanic name such as ALFHER or an Old Norse name such as Áleifr (see OLAF). The spelling was altered by association with Latin oliva "olive tree". In the Middle Ages the name became well-known in Western Europe because of the French epic 'La Chanson de Roland', in which Olivier was a friend and advisor of the hero Roland.
In England Oliver was a common medieval name, however it became rare after the 17th century because of the military commander Oliver Cromwell, who ruled the country following the civil war. The name was revived in the 19th century, perhaps in part due to the title character in Charles Dickens' novel 'Oliver Twist' (1838), which was about a poor orphan living on the streets of London.

2014 SKYWARNTM Recognition Day

December 6, 2014, from 0000z to 2400z
SKYWARNTM Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. It celebrates the contributions that volunteer SKYWARNTM radio operators make to the National Weather Service. During the day SKYWARNTM operators visit NWS offices and contact other radio operators across the world.
[ LINK ]
EVENT NEWS:12/4/2014
  • SRD is one day away and the final preperations are being made.
  • Join in the conversation and promote the event using the hashtag #SRDay14
  • Want to share what frequency/mode you're working? Tweet it. #SRDay14
  • The endorsement checklist will be posted here by Friday morning at the latest.
Click on the links below for further information about the 2014 Event.
 SKYWARNTM Recognition Day Operating Instructions
    1. Object: For all amateur stations to exchange QSO information with as many National Weather Service Stations as possible on 80, 40, 20, 15, 10, 6, and 2 meter bands plus the 70 centimeter band. Contacts via repeaters are permitted. SKYWARNTM Recognition Day serves to celebrate the contributions to public safety made by amateur radio operators during threatening weather.
    2. Date: NWS stations will operate December 6, 2014, from 0000 - 2400 UTC.
    3. Exchange: Call sign, signal report, QTH, and a one or two word description of the weather occurring at your site ("sunny", "partly cloudy", "windy", etc.).
    This year's SRD happens to occur on The National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. In an effort to commemorate the day we are asking offices that from 18z-19z to say, "Conditions at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, were mostly sunny and 75 degrees" instead of the local weather in the exchange.
    4. Modes: NWS stations will work various modes including SSB, FM, AM, RTTY, CW, and PSK31. While working digital modes, special event stations will append "NWS" to their call sign (e.g., N0A/NWS).
    5.Station Control Operator: It is suggested that during SRD operations a non-NWS volunteer should serve as a control operator for your station.
    6. Event and QSL Information: The National Weather Service will provide event information via the internet. Event certificates will likely be electronic and printable this year. Stay Tuned!

EXPIRED!
SPOTTER ACTIVATION REQUESTED
National Weather Service, Seattle WA
Nov 28, 2014 4:37PM
    There is a threat of heavy snowfall in your area. Now is a good time to make sure you have your weather reporting criteria information available. If possible, you should also have your spotter identification number available.
    Please call the National Weather Service at (800) 882-1431 if you observe weather conditions that meet reporting criteria.  
    Most areas of western Washington will see an inch or less of now from tonight through Saturday morning. 1 to 3 inches is possible in northern Puget Sound Region (King, Snohomish, Island, Kitsap) and areas along the Strait of Juan De Fuca (Clallam and Jefferson). If you get snow that sticks, and it measures 0.1 or more, give us a call!
     Also, it will be very windy in western Whatcom county and San Juan county. If you get sustained winds of 40+ mph, or gusts 58+ mph, give us a call!
    Thank you for volunteering to be a spotter for the National Weather Service. Your information is quite important to us during significant weather events.
