The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), in partnership with the University of Oklahoma (OU), has launched a free app -- mPING (mobile Precipitation Identification Near the Ground) -- with which users can anonymously report precipitation from their Apple or Android mobile device. Simply select the type of precipitation that is falling at your location and press Submit -- your location and the time of the observation are automatically included in the report.

Kopia av ett mail från mig:

Just nu är solpanelerna återigen nedisade, så vi får ingen laddning fast solen skiner!

Jag gick ut med ett litet gruppmejl för ca en vecka sedan att batterierna på repeatern börjar bli dåligt laddade. Nu skickar jag ut ett till gruppmejl, denna gång till flera användare, så fler blir medvetna om problematiken.

In this article I would like to share my personal experiences on the use of the remotely controlled amateur radio stations. This subject is not new, and was referred to repeatedly in some amateur radio information sources, as well as discussed in many forums on the Internet. So I will not be original here.
