• 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.

ChaserCon 2013 (National Storm Chaser Convention) in Denver

cant make it this year :( school interferes yet again....But...next year not only can I go...but anyone who needs a place to crash can crash on my couch or on the floor for free. :) i will be graduated and living in Denver this time next year.

ya'll have fun.
 
I'm stoked...this will also be my 3rd time there...thanks to mostly free airfare from being bumped last year. The forecasting class is a great mental warm-up/refresher..I always am learning more with it...very well worth the extra $25. There are lots of hotels around the area to pick from.
I'm surprised noone's suggested it, but how about doing breakfast or lunch together as ST members..or happy hour Saturday before the dinner? Or...[insert idea here]...?
 
Agreed...what time spot might be best chance? There *are* down times...could be Sat. or Sunday...I sorta thought lunch Saturday because that's built into the schedule anyways...that's just 1 thought tho...

How about drinks Saturday before the banquet? Is Tim vending again? We could meet up at his table.

Is there a secret Stormtrack gang sign, so we'll know who's who?

I was thinking exactly the same thing about a meetup spot...I believe Tim is vending again...if not...Skip has the StormAssist table as a 2nd option...so if you arrive and Tim isn't there...Skip is the default (and you gotta buy a StormAssist DVD if you stop there).

Drinks Sat before banquet sounds like a plan...meet 15 min. after the last presentation Saturday at Tim's/Skip's table sound good?
 
I'm flying in Thursday afternoon. I'm would like to do some scenic photography on Sunday. Contact me if you're interested in doing that Friday. Will be back to hotel in time for Jon Davies' class Friday night!
 
I've attended for the last 3 years and have loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, I won't be there this year...but it's for a good reason and one that makes me smile. My wife is returning home the day before the convention from a 6-month deployment to Afghanistan, so I think a little downtime with her at home is in order. :D

I will be there this year for the first time. Have been unable to go the past several years, and this year everything fell into place. Myself and Bryant Burrough are booked at the Hyatt, and we will be driving out from SGF arriving Friday. Hope to see everyone there!
 
Okay, so 15 min after the Wurman/Kosiba presentation Saturday afternoon? That gives me just enough time to go put my tux on. :)

Great! Of course this is for all ST members at Chasercon. Meet up 15 minutes after the last presentation Saturday at Tim Vasquez's table in the vendor's area (or Skip Talbot's table as a backup, if Tim doesn't have a table this year).

Looks like it's going to be a great line-up this year. Wish I could go...maybe next time. Using funds for equipment & first aid/cert classes. Does anyone know if they're going to be streaming the convention online? It was nice to watch from home last year.
 
Good day all,

Just a heads up ... For the "video night" stuff ... Tim S is saying no submissions will be accepted on Saturday.

He wants videos sent via "yousendit", but that's a "pay service" if over 50 MB (most videos will be WAY more than that). Contact Tim S if you have video for him.

For mine, I put it on an FTP site and he was able to pull it down from there.
 
Wishing all of you guys the best! It's frustrating to me that I'm just down the road from the convention, but will be here at my post at the hospital next few nights. *sigh* Have a fabulous time all.
