Amateur radio or ham radio has conveniently intersected with my love of meteorology. I discovered skywarn a several months after getting my license in 1988. Several storm chasers have obtained there FCC licenses and use their licenses contribute to skywarn nets and communicate with fellow chasers in the field.
Because of ham radio does not require commercial infrastructure (with the exception electricity), it makes the perfect technology for chasing. I constantly hear feedback that chasers can’t access cellular data services in the field. I am proposing an experiment using slow scan technologies to transmit and receive radar and other weather related images to chasers in the field. I would like to know if anyone is interested in this. Participation in the research phase doesn't require a license, I would like to take my HF radios and meet you all in the field on a chase. I would also like to evaluate the use of low cost shortwave receivers to receive images. Here is my proposal:
