Amateur Radio in Northwest Arkansas
 

SKYWARN Training

The training was held at the Tulsa Technical Center on Saturday February 10,2007.  Transportation for the ARKAN members attending was provided by the Washington County Sheriff's Department.  We kind of wondered why people looked at us so strangely until we realized that there were warnings on the side of the van that read, "Prisoner Transport   Stay back!"


Members attending (left to right in the photo) were: Stephen KD6TZF, Larry WX5AR, Paul KK5II, Hal K5NOW, Charlie KE5AEA and Bill K5BHS.  Taking the photo was Angelia KE5LQM.

There was some confusion with local authorities about the individuals who occupied this van, but it was soon cleared up.

Ever wonder where that funny sounding voice comes from that you are hearing on your weather radio? You're looking at it!
