2017 SKYWARN Recognition Day will be held on the first Saturday
in December. The date and time is December 2, 2017, from
0000 UTC until 2400 UTC.
SKYWARN Recognition Day was developed in 1999 by the National
Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League.
It celebrates the contributions that SKYWARN volunteers make to
the NWS mission, the protection of life and property. Amateur
radio operators comprise a large percentage of the SKYWARN
volunteers across the country.
The Amateur radio operators also provide vital communication
between the NWS and emergency management if normal communications
become inoperative.
During the SKYWARN Special Event operators will visit NWS
offices and contact other radio operators across the world.
