West Tennessee Weather Net on the West Link 440 System

The West Link 440 system links into the West TN Weather Net each night from 8:00 - 8:30 p.m. Please feel free to check into the net. NOTE: If you're checking in from the 440 system, please key your radio for 2 seconds before talking to allow the repeaters to link. The hope is this will improve the coverage and participation of the weather net. If you have questions, please email me.

If you have a 440 repeater in the Memphis National Weather Service coverage area (West Tennessee, Missouri Bootheal, Northern Mississippi) and would like to link to the above system on a part or full time basis, contact me at: ka4bni@ka4bni.com
