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.

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!
