Welcome to the website for the Skywarn Youth Net. The Skywarn Youth Net is a weekly Net (or on-air meeting). This Net provides valuable training for young amateur radio operators by helping them learn how to handle on-air traffic, by introducing them to different geographic locations and names here in the United States and throughout the world, and by encouraging awareness about basic weather facts and current and upcoming weather conditions.
We meet every Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. Central Time via participating amateur radio repeaters and worldwide digital Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) networks.
Please Join Us!
All hams of all ages throughout the world are encouraged to check in and help give valuable experience to the young hams who host these weekly nets.
If there are no local on-air repeaters in your area carrying the Skywarn Youth Net, you can always join us via VoIP.
If you own/operate an on-air repeater and you would like to carry the Skywarn Youth Net on it, feel free to connect via one of our VoIP networks. You do not need prior permission to connect in. However, if you plan for your repeater to be a regular affiliate, please let us know so that we can add you to our listings on this website and so that we can add your geographical area to our Net Script.
