• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

1980s Weather Radar on cable: Part 2

I believe it was Tim V. that started a thread a year or two ago about the color radar displays that were sometimes seen on cable and local TV back in the 90s and early 90s. Several members posted pictures from their area. This time, I have to offer several videos from Cincinnati, Ohio and Muskegon, Michigan. http://www.youtube.com/user/hookecho80 I have one video from April 3, 1988 from Cincinnati and the rest are from the June 2, 1990 tornado outbreak. These also feature NOAA Weather Radio. The Muskegon videos are from 1987 during The Weather Channel local forecast. FYI: Cincinnati had a WSR-57 and Muskegon had a WSR-74C.
