WX2PHI SKYWARN List Servers

   The SKYWARN Technical Committee has created 42 list servers through the eGroups server. One list server is dedicated to all SKYWARN weather discussions and is open for all to post information on. The others are read only lists for the NWS to post weather statements, watches, and warnings. One additional list server, although not created by the Technical Committee, may be of interest to the members is the hurricanetalk list, which is an open list for anyone to post issues related to the 2000 tropical weather season. 

Note: When originating messages to the MTHOLLYSKYWARN listserver, only use the email account that you subscribed to this list with. Attempts to send email to the MTHOLLYSKYWARN list from a different email account will result in bounced/discarded messages. The MTHOLLYSKYWARN list is the only list that allows you to list messages on.  

ALL other lists described below are ANNOUNCE ONLY and used for distribution of weather warnings, watches, advisories by the SKYWARN technical committee staff.

MTHOLLYSKYWARN List

The list is open to all who are interested. You don't have to be a registered and trained SKYWARN Spotter to join the list nor do you need to be an amateur radio operator.
