Revised -Apr- Ham Policy Guide For Chaves Skywarn Storm Spotters This guide is for Chaves County amateur radio operators only It is not intended for non-ham Skywarn storm spotters It outlines the policy for Chaves County hams when fast-moving storms threaten It does not include ham radio frequencies or net operating procedures Nor does it include severe storm characteristics or observing techniques These are available in separate documents and through Skywarn training sessions o ?ered by the NWS This guide is oriented toward severe faster moving storms that represent a possible threat to life or property Examples are wind hail ash ooding lightening and tornadoes It is not directed toward observations of slowly rising water accumulating snowfall ice storms etc ?? even though these may in-time represent a threat In Chaves County the ham Skywarn program is closely integrated with the Chaves Amateur Radio Emergency Service CARES which is in turn associated with the Pecos Valley Amateur Radio Club PVARC Safety ?? No ham storm spotter will be asked to risk danger to life or property No spotter will be asked to ??chase storms ? although some individuals may choose to do so at their own expense and risk The ham spotter is asked for observations from wherever that spotter happens to be If he or she chooses to drive to some other location to get a better view of the storm the observations will be gladly accepted ?? but this must be at the spotter ? s own initiative When possible the ham radio net control station will attempt to inform ham spotters of storm progress and warn them of any danger observed heading their way -- this may not always be possible Skywarn Coordinators ??
