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 146.865 (PL118.8)

The first alternate is 146.805 (PL 131.8)

The second alternate is 147.330 (PL 82.5)

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

The mTEARS, wide coverage, linked UHF repeater system is used during any serious weather event.

This system covers all of middle TN and a good portion of east and West TN.

Plans are underway to expand the coverage throughout TN and into parts of AL and 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.
