ARRL Membership

Weather Ready Nation

KCARC and other WEATHER-READY AMBASSADORS are formally recognized by NOAA as organizations committed to collaborating with NOAA and the National Weather System, sharing preparedness messaging in outreach to the public, and serving as examples themselves by implementing resilience best practices. Several of our members are also closely involved with the NWS Skywarn Storm Spotter Program.


ARRL Membership

Skywarn WX Observers

Since the program started in the 1970s, the information provided by SKYWARN® spotters, coupled with Doppler radar technology, improved satellite and other data, has enabled NWS to issue more timely and accurate warnings for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flash floods. SKYWARN® storm spotters form the nation's first line of defense against severe weather.


Ameteur Radio is ready.
When All Else Fails..
- If the local cell towers were knocked out of service by high winds from a severe storm, how would you communicate ?
- Amateur Radio volunteers provide local, state, and world wide emergency communications.
- KCARC maintains its own EmComm Center in Camden, SC.
