• 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.

Hey gang,

The NWS has now unveiled their new potential sites for 2006. These should go through unless
there are further budget cuts this fiscal year.

SOUTHERN REGION:


TEXAS
--------

New Taiton (Houston area---summer)
Childress (summer)
Perryton (summer)
Fort Stockton/Bakersfield (fall)

NEW MEXICO
---------------

Guadalupe National Park (fall)

OKLAHOMA
-------------
Guymon (summer)
Wewoka (summer)
Chickasha (summer)


RUS Grants already funded, install for all 3 scheduled for this summer:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pecos, TX,
Hebbronville, TX (far southern Texas)
Antlers, OK


Senator earmark:
--------------------
Carthage, MS (summer)


CENTRAL REGION (install dates generally not known except for one):

GIFT TRANSMITTERS
-----------------

LaPorte, IN (coming very soon, awaiting parts)
Emmit County, MI


USDA GRANT
----------

Monticello, UT
Steamboat Springs, CO
CONGRESSIONAL EARMARK
---------------------

Kemmerer, WY


"HIGH RISK" EXPANSION SITES
---------------------------

Muncie, IN
Red Wing, MN (southeast of Minneapolis)
Anton, CO (halfway between Denver and the Kansas border on US 36)
Canon City, CO
Benton County, MO (western part of the state)
McDonald County, MO - The requirement for this additional transmitter is to
also cover NE Oklahoma. Most likely the Joplin, MO transmitter will be
relocated instead to improve coverage in southeastern Kansas, northeastern
Oklahoma and southwestern Missouri.
 
I would be happy to see the Avilla Missouri transmitted relocated. The coverage here in SE Kansas sucks. We are basically in a hole between ICT and SGF so coverage isn't that great.
