SKYWARN nets are activated whenever severe weather is likely.  Most TN counties have a SKYWARN Coordinator.  The Coordinator assures that appropriate "Spotter Training" has been completed and is responsible to activate a local SKYWARN net whenever warranted.

Your active participation in these nets can help save lives and minimize loss.

The Cumberland County SKYWARN nets are normally conducted on 147.345 (PL118.8)

The first alternate is 147.330 (PL 82.5)

In the event the repeaters are inoperative we will use 147.420 Simplex

George Reeder, KJ2V, is the SKYWARN Coordinator for Cumberland County.

The mTEARS, wide coverage, linked UHF repeater system is used during any serious weather event. This system covers all of middle TN, a good portion of east and West TN and the northern part of AL.  You can view the status of this system at the MTEARS.ORG web site.  Plans are underway to expand the coverage throughout TN and into parts KY.

Cumberland County repeater is 443.875 (PL 88.5)

Putnam County Repeater is 444.600 (PL 107.2)

When the MTEARS/SKYWARN net is activated one liaison station is required from each effected county to relay information between the local net and the National Weather Service.  Please be sure to follow the NWS Spotter Guidelines regarding what to report.

Watch the weather coming from the West with a live Spotter Camera.
