PACKET OPERATION FOR SKYWARN

To connect locally, connect to NWSBBS on 145.090. This will connect you directly to the NWS SKYWARN PBBS for posting of your spotter reports and to pick up severe weather warnings from NWS MFR.  

If you can not connect to NWSBBS, then try to connect to NWSMFR on the same frequency. If you are able to do this, then connect to NWSBBS. 

 If you are not able to connect locally/directly, then try to connect through the MT Ashland node on 145.030, the ID is: SKYWRN.  

If you are able to connect to SKYWRN, then type in BBS (upper or lower case), and it will respond that it is trying to connect to NWSBBS. It should then connect you to NWS PBBS in Medford just as if you had connected locally/directly as described above. 

You can then leave spotter reports and pick up any warnings.
