I just finished participating in Skywarn Recognition Day. Like most events of this type, it’s easy to get sucked in. At first, I thought I’d just work a couple of stations, but one led to two, two led to three, etc. Overall, I worked 11 stations in 9 different states:

• WX2OKX - Upton, NY
• W9S - Chicago, IL
• WX2PHI - Mt. Holly, NJ
• WX2BUF - Buffalo, NY
• K0DMX - Des Moines, IA
• WD9CIR - Lincoln, IL
• KC0NWS - Kansas City, MO
• WX4MLB - Melbourne, FL
• WX9ARX - La Crosse, WI
• W0NWS - Omaha, NE
• N0Y - Aberdeen, SD

It was a nice event celebrating some of the best public service work that hams do.
