CANWARN Training CANWARN training will be made available on Thursday September 16,2010.
This training is provided by a member of the Environment Canada hurricane center.
It is important to note that if you are interested, please make sure you arrive by 19h00. Someone will be monitoring VE9MTN 147.090+Mhz. Please contact VE1VON for additional information. Revitalizing CANWARN in Atlantic Canada
CANWARN is a volunteer organization of amateur radio operators who report severe weather and damage reports to Environment Canada when they see it. Weather reports from amateur radio operators help confirm on the ground what satellites and radars see in the atmosphere.
The weather and damage reports received from CANWARN members can provide key information to weather forecasters during any type of severe weather event. In Atlantic Canada CANWARN can be activated for the following types of events: Severe Winter Storms including ice storms
Although CANWARN has been in place in New Brunswick for a number of years, it is relatively new to Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. A project is now underway which will hopefully revive CANWARN in New Brunswick and introduce the program to the other Atlantic Provinces. The project includes installing a 2-metre amateur radio at the Canadian Hurricane Centre, recruiting new CANWARN members and possibly conducting some training sessions later this year. The next steps will involve gauging interest in CANWARN amongst the amateur radio community through a combination of test activations and real severe weather events. When a CANWARN net is activated in their area, amateurs are encouraged to send in their reports of severe to the Net Controller on frequency who will then pass them on to forecasters at Environment Canada.
New 80-40M dipole now installed
Thanks to all that have help make this possible.
