[Radio]

As a volunteer net control operator for the National Weather Service here in Peachtree City, GA. (WX4PTC) and the fact that our service area of North Georgia is taking a real weather pounding as I type this in, I thought I'd post another great reason to keep a NOAA weather radio with SAME technology in the RV at all times.

Wheh a warning is posted, they first give the county names of the areas affected, and then they say "Areas in the path of this storm include..." and then they give specific city, town, community names of where the storm is headed.

And just this weekend I have noticed they now include the names of state parks and recreation areas. Now I've heard a lot of these warnings and broadcast a few myself and I have not heard this before. I did make the suggestion to the warning co-ordinator the last time we had a training session.

If your local NWS office isn't doing this, call them up, ask to speak to the warning co-ordinator and politely suggest that they do.
