• 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.

Visit with Bob Baron

I was performing at a society function this evening and wound up visting with Bob Baron, whom I hadn't seen in person in quite a while. We both arrived in Huntsville around the same time, Bob on radio back then before he became a TV weather guy.

He shared some interesting stories, including his trip in a hurricane hunter C-130 several years ago, and talked about the DOW that Baron Services has built, which he says is being used also by UAHuntsville and/or NSSTC for projects, hurricane studies in particular. While we chatted about the 1989 F4 here, a few other witnesses got involved--it was a pretty good storm chat for a gig.

We talked about WXWorx and the modern proliferation of laptops and tablets. He mentioned that a storm chaser from Australia came into the Baron offices recently to buy a unit. Was it any of you Australians who post here on ST?
