Weather spotting and Amateur Radio

The National Weather Service in Amarillo has a very active amateur radio community within our area of responsibility.  Persons traveling through the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles that are licensed amateur radio operators are encouraged to follow the instruction of the Network Control Operator to report severe weather should a SKYWARN net be in operation.
