Severe weather spotter training, aka "spotter talks", are usually hosted by various amateur radio or public service groups around the area. These sessions are usually conducted by personnel from the National Weather Service office in Indianapolis.

N5FDL's Seven Tips: How to be a Volunteer that Leaders Love

Wed 05-25 9:12am — W9BU

Reprinted from the ARRL ARES® E-letter, May 25, 2011:

N5FDL: Sure-Fire Ways to Kill Your ARES® Program

Wed 05-25 9:02am — W9BU

Reprinted from the ARRL ARES® E-letter, April 20, 2011:

Last month, I offered what I believe are ten ways to grow an ARES® or EMCOMM program. This month, I'll offer a list of ways to do just the opposite. Most are related to leadership.

Politics: If you've been around a while, you've experienced the evil of Amateur Radio politics, often made worse because we're a passionate bunch and nobody really has an important (job, money, family) stake in the debate. ARES® is different. We have a public safety mission and people count on us. We do not have time for politics.
