Feed Notes

This feed monitors the Jennings County Amateur Radio Association KC9PIE 145.250 MHz 2 meter repeater located at the Scipio site.

Normal Operations
Under routine conditions, the 145.250 repeater is linked with our other club repeaters, including 442.975 MHz at Scipio and 443.025 MHz at the Edinburg site. When linked, traffic may include general amateur radio conversations, club nets, training, public service events and regional coordination.

Skywarn and Severe Weather Operations
When Skywarn is activated for Jennings County, the 145.250 repeater is intentionally unlinked from the other repeaters and operates independently. During these periods, this frequency becomes the primary local spotter net for Jennings County.

All local weather reports such as tornado sightings, funnel clouds, rotating wall clouds, hail size, measured wind damage, flooding, downed trees, power lines and storm related hazards are directed to 145.250. Reports are collected by Net Control and relayed through a designated liaison operating on 442.975 MHz to the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.

During Skywarn activation, listeners can expect focused, structured net operations with priority given to real time severe weather reporting. Non essential traffic is restricted in order to maintain clear and efficient communication.

This feed allows members of the public to monitor local weather spotter activity in real time, especially during severe weather events when timely information is critical.

Jennings County Amateur Radio Association serves the community through volunteer emergency communications and Skywarn support from the Indianapolis National Weather Service office.
