Central Indiana Skywarn Test Net--suspended

Until further notice, the monthly Central Indiana Skywarn Test Net has been suspended due to scheduling conflicts. It may return in the future.

The Central Indiana Skywarn Test Net is held the first Monday of every month at 7:00pm ET on the 146.970 repeater system. Please note the change to 7:00pm. Nets are not held if that Monday falls on a holiday or if severe weather is in the area. Check-ins are welcome!

Basic spotter training

The Indianapolis NWS will be conducting "spotter talks", also known as basic spotter training, at various sites in the area. Several sessions have been scheduled already and are being announced on various nets and web sites. The official list of spotter talks will be maintained by the NWS staff and can be found here.
