• 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.

There is a new NWR transmitter in South Central Kansas. It serves parts of WFOs DDC, ICT and OUN. This should greatly improve coverage in an area that was in between other transmitters and just in time for severe weather/ chase season in this part of the world. More detailed info is in a PNS issued by ICT this weekend. Just an FYI since severe wx may occur today and Wednesday.

SWEEEEEET :D

It's always good to hear of new transmitters being set up in places where radar coverage has been somewhat distant, like like you have mentioned, Chris, the more detailed data there is available, the better for both chasers and forecasters :)

Willie - this doesn't add new data or assist with radar coverage... NOAA Weather Radios are used for sending forecast, watches, warnings and the like. It's not a forecasting tool.
 
I goofed, I was thinking of different radars :) lol, I happily stand corrected :)

I'm having one of those odd days where I'm just not with it, oh well, I am human after all :)
