EARS/Illiana Skywarn/Central Indiana Skywarn Partnership
Through the cooperation of Illiana Skywarn, EARS is proud to announce its partnership with Central Indiana SKYWARN. The 146.925 and 443.925 repeaters in Vincennes (with a remote receiver in Farmersburg) are now being used to save even more lives.
During times of severe weather, 146.925 and 443.925 will be linked through the W9SKI 444.350 repeater in Terre Haute to the W9ICE 146.97 repeater (and others) in Indianapolis so that local SKYWARN nets can relay weather information directly to the National Weather Service office in Indianapolis.
When the repeaters are linked, we ask that all local traffic be halted. If you have severe weather to report, please report it to your LOCAL Skywarn net as soon as possible. The net control of each local Skywarn net will designate a liason to forward only the information requested by the National Weather Service on to Indianapolis.
Local Indiana Skywarn nets in the 146.925/443.925 coverage area include:
Clay County 146.685 - (CTCSS 151.4) / 145.230 - (CTCSS 151.4)

Codes will be provided to any local SKYWARN net control operators to activate the link to 444.35.
