• 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.

Full GEMPAK (SPC -- N-AWIPS) computer system for sale

I still need to get rid of the GEMPAK system I got installed for me last year to pay for some stuff. I paid $500 to get the software (and Linux) professionally installed onto a $600 computer (tower + monitor) -- so the total worth value for everything is officially $1,100.00. GEMPAK -- or N-AWIPS -- is a professional forecasting software and is used operationally and was developed by the Storm Prediction Center.

It's basically one-step down from AWIPS, which is used operationally in every NWS office (which will never be made available to the public). Data feed comes from an internet connection. The N-SHARP program is the most powerful and coolest skew-t software on the planet. You can modify both the thermodynamic and kinematic structure of the atmosphere -- at any level you like. You can also use any parcel you'd like (surface-based / 100mb mean layer / most unstable in the lowest 300mb or user-defined) to compute different low-level thermodynamics -- i.e. LCL / LFC -- and parameters such as CINH, CAPE, etc. You can modify the kinematic structure to generate your own hodograph as well (obviously excellent when having to modify low-level wind structure to represent a nearby area that didn't have a sounding).

The package comes with the full computer (monitor + tower + keyboard + mouse) with Linux / GEMPAK already installed and ready to go as soon as you plug your computer in! I need the money ASAP, so I'll sell it for $450 OBO (this is a +$1,100 value). PM me.
 
I still need to sell this system and ASAP. I still need the extra money! I'd be willing to sell the whole system for $300... PM me with any questions you've got.
 
NOTICE: This item is STILL for sale (for the same price of $300). If anyone is interested, just PM me.

I had an offer a couple of weeks ago, and I was told the money order was being sent, but I have yet to recieve it. Ergo, it's still for sale.
