2003 SKYWARN Recognition Day

December 6, 2003   (0000 - 2400 UTC.)
 
SKYWARN Recognition Day for Amateur Radio Operators is cosponsored by the National Weather Service and the American Radio Relay League. The purpose of the event is to celebrate the contributions that amateur radio operators ("hams") make to the National Weather Service during times of critical weather. During the event, hams worldwide try to contact as many NWS offices as possible using their radio equipment.  The contacts are received and logged at the individual NWS offices by volunteer amateur radio operators.
