<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>This is cool. Alas, my county has already supplied weather stations to the county ARES/RACES group here. I'm actually working on a project to connect the ARES I-gate directly to the county GIS system (they're on the same LAN already), so the EOC can get real-time weather feeds from our 22 fixed weather stations without having to depend on an external Internet connection or someone hand-reading or hand-typing all the data.<br><br>Andrew Pavlin, KA2DDO<br>author of YAAC<br>member, Chester County (PA) ARES/RACES<br><br><div>> Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 15:41:19 -0400<br>> From: jgorkos@gmail.com<br>> To: aprssig@tapr.org<br>> Subject: [aprssig] Interesting Joint Venture between Hams and Industry<br>> <br>> The long version:<br>> <br>> http://www.arrl.org/news/view/oklahoma-grant-will-fund-amateur-radio-based-skywarn-location-tracking-system<br>> <br>> The Short Version:<br>> The East Central Oklahoma Electrical Coop is granting $3700 to Oklahoma<br>> Skywarn hams for the purchase and installation of an IGate, several<br>> digis, and some mobile APRS stations to be deployed alongside active<br>> skywarn volunteers during storm-spotting missions.<br>> <br>> I'd really like to see the grant proposal they used, since it seems like<br>> something that could be replicated across the country.
