I don't have a weekend off for about a month so will you be available sometime during the week if I came over around 9 or so in the morning? Tuesday next week would be great. I am off Monday and Tuesday next week, but I have to teach a class Monday til noon on top of working the night before so that day is shot. Let me know what is best for you and what I need. I think I have everything except for some powerpoles and some extra cables for my inverters that have powerpole adapters so I can run an inverter to my car battery if need be.

I had the test pool booklet and just kept going over and over the questions until I knew them really really good. I read the first half of a book I had and learned some really good stuff, but then it got really over my head technical and I said the heck with this. I passed with no problem by doing the booklet with the question pool. The good thing is I still learned a lot from just going over the test pool. I will learn the rest on my own with trial and error and actually transmitting over air. I know the FCC rules really good so I think I have pretty goood confidence that I know enough to at least get started and learn the rest as I go.

If I remember right the March 28th outbreak wasn't really great moisture wise with upper 50's in Nebraska and parts of Kansas where wedge tornadoes were seen. It will be interesting to keep an eye on metar stations over the next few days to actually judge what moisture is like. Chris --- Joey Ketcham wrote: > *tap tap tap..

Dewpoints are currently low 50's to even some mid 50's in the eastern half of the Texas panhandle. Southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma panhandle are mid 40's about. The GFS does show 55-60 dews along the dryline in nw Kansas to nw Texas. The thing I like is the the very sharp dryline that is forecasted, which may help overcome dewpoints if they do become to be an issue to a certain extent. NW Oklahoma shows 55-60 dews. dropping off to around 25 just west of the dryline about 50 miles or so. Chris --- Chris wrote: > Still looks pretty good.

I will be out there for 7 days, 6 days to chase, 1 day to be back to Dallas for my departure back to San Jose. So, I hope you will still be interested in chasing the week of May 17 - May 23, if we get some good setups of course. Any suggestions on what I should bring would be appreciated. I plan to bring a laptop and some good maps of the area with me, and money to help with gas/lodging, but that is about it.

DefaultNew incar wi-fi setup _____ I have been reading all the posts about using Sprint, Cingular, Verizon, etc.. data cards for high speed internet connections. It seems the card srun about $200-$250 and unlimited data plans are anywhere from $40 up to $80 and you have to sign at least a 1 year and most of the time a 2 year contract and the card only uses that company's towers am I right?? Well my chase partner found this new "gadget" that Avis is putting in all its cars that promises wi-fi anywhere you go. It uses any and all available cell towers no matter what company it belongs to and has a 95% coverage rate for the US (so they say). The cost of the "gadget" is $399 and then its $50 a month for unlimited data. It plugs into the cigarrette lighter and then becomes a wi-fi hotspot able to connect multiple devices so I guess anybody in the car can use it at the same time. It is suppose to have a range of 100ft so unles you secure it I guess anybody pulling up next to you could use it also. High speed access ranges from 600Kbps-800Kbps. Upload speeds about 200Kbps. My teammate (Phil) loves trying new toys and has already pre-ordered it and we will be testing it out during our chase vacation in both vehicles and I will let you know how well it works. he also has a Sprint card as backup but this seems cheaper per month and should have better coverage so if it works then we will be dumping the Sprint card and if it is as good as advertised then I will be able to run Gr3 and wont need WxWorx either. Should pay for itself in a few months. It isnt available to the public until May sometime. Here is a link to their webpage. http://www.autonetmobile.com/wp/service Like I said we will let you know how our field testing goes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I bookmarked the link. Will be interesting to see how it works out for them. For only $50 a month that would be nice. There is another chaser party that I will probably be able to make it to. It's on May 19 in Piedmont which is near OKC. It is the annual thing that Rocky Rascovich or however you spell it puts on. Tons of people go to that so if anybody is interested it's something to think about I guess. Weather pattern looks to be quiet for at least another week.
