DOWs do a lot more than VORTEX work... Probably something related to wildfires?

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 are many other mobile radars besides Wurman's Doppler On Wheels (DOW), which are the only radars officially called "DOWs", and collecting data on many different projects besides VORTEX2.
Anyway, an NSSL mobile radar is currently in the southwest states collecting polarimetric data on bats. Perhaps that is what you saw.

I believe CSWR is (or was) doing college/university/educational visits to schools around the US. I know they were recently in Illinois a month or two ago at Elmhurst College.

Josh Wurman will be presenting at the Central Plains Severe Weather Symposium in Lincoln, NE on April 9. VORTEX contributors Ryan McGinnis, Jim Reed, and Adam Houston will also be presenting during the day as well.

I wonder if there is, or has been any sort of effort to document their progress on film and present it online or on TV (projects in post production??). I would love to watch videos and such to see what the findings have been thus far without having to go to a seminar/conference.

I think Tim Marshall had some VORTEX videos on his 2009 season highlights. There will also be some VORTEX results presented on the upcoming Denver Storm Chaser Convention.

Yeah, Tim's 2009 DVD has several Vortex 2 chases on it. He also filmed most of the morning briefs and put them on the DVD, too, so you get a good idea of the setup each day and what the day's lead forecaster was thinking.
I imagine his presentation this year at Chasercon will be V2 related, since he spent most (all?) of his season with V2.
