Interested participants can contact K1MGY-Mark Richards at kmalittl1@gmail.com as Mark is organizing Amateur Radio communications for this public service event. Mark also supports SKYWARN on the 146.955-Westford repeater and we have added this request for Amateur Radio support to this announcement given Mark’s strong support of the SKYWARN program. We hope a few additional Amateur Radio Operators can assist with this event for this year.
