• 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.

Until January 15th I am offering a discount on software for StormTrack members at Skywatch Services LLC!

RealEMWIN is discounted to $52.95 -- with no annual fees or other hardware costs you can get a direct tap into the NWS bulletin feed...

...and GEMPAK is ready to run on Windows machines -- the sale price is $95 for the Windows version, and $300 covers a full Linux setup with the Workstation WRF included for hi-res simulations for your area.

http://skywatch.org

It won't be advertised on the website, so if you're interested in ordering just click the contact link and I'll generate up a web invoice back at you. RealEMWIN delivery is instant, GEMPAK for Windows (a 3 DVD set) takes about 2-3 days via USPS Priority Mail, and Linux boxes take about a week to configure.
