Are you saying that not having a ham radio is a danger if you are spotting or chasing?

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.

Yeah....I too wonder about that statement. I actually don't think people need to get a ham radio license to chase...in fact...I hate chasers who only get their license in order to chase/spot. It's just as easy to phone in or use other means. Ham radio is a communications hobby, and chasers tend to lack the necessary protocol and skill when using ham radio. I speak of the many...but not of the whole on this. It is not a necessary tool, there are many other tools that accomplish the same task without becoming a ham.

So now I need not only a 2m radio to chase, but an angry porcupine as well?

From what I understand, the many quills provide an early warning via St. Elmo's Fire that you should get back in the car.
