PL259, S0259, UHF,¼ (6.35mm) Phone, 1/8 (3.5mm) Phone, SMA, Reverse SMA, BNC, N, RCA, XLR, F, RJ45, and more. So many, what is a HAM to do?

There are far too many connectors to cover all of them, but I will talk about some that are common to amateur radio. I will also share some insights when making cables with some of them.

2025 SKYWARN Training

The annual SKYWARN training and certification will be held on Saturday, April

The online courses “Role of the SKYWARN Spotter” and “Spotter Convective Basics”
are required for all new spotters. Be sure to add Ed Holloway, KØRPT, as your instructor to have your completion certificates emailed to me.

Retaking the courses each year is not required if I have your certificates; however,
I highly recommend retaking them as a refresher. The course links can be found in the
right-hand column on the NeARES.net website. Please complete or update your ARES
Membership at https://neares.org/get-involved/

We continue to issue Lancaster County Emergency Management ID Cards and will
take photos on training day. Please bring your driver’s license as you complete your
registration. Your data will be stored securely.

The 2025 storm spotter packets are being updated and will be emailed to all
credentialed spotters in Lancaster County who have completed the ARES registration
and ID card processes.
