Imabug's journey into electronics and amateur radio as AB4UG and VA6BUG
It’s been a while since I’ve had the time to participate in SKYWARN™ Recognition Day. This year I’ll be on the air once again helping out with activating the National Weather Service Charleston office (WX4CHS) Saturday morning (December 6).
This year marks the 25th year of SKYWARN™ Recognition Day. Should be a fun time.
Had a good time playing radio as WX4CHS yesterday morning for Skywarn Recognition Day. The Charleston NWS office seems like a pretty neat place.
Tom/AJ4UQ brought along his radio and setup for digital radio, and we spent the morning operating WX4CHS on 40m and 20m PSK as well as monitoring the local VHF repeaters. Made just under 30 PSK contacts and one repeater contact.
For SKYWARN Recognition Day, WX4CHS is working 40M at 7.070 frequency. Looking forward to making contact! #SRDay14 pic.twitter.com/7ydRnSiA7d

This was my first time doing an event like this, and it was a lot of fun. Had a great time playing radio there, and the staff at NWS Charleston were great hosts.
Coming up this weekend is Skywarn Recognition Day, and I’ve been tapped to do a 7AM-11AM shift on Saturday morning.
I’ll be on the air from the Charleston NWS office as WX4CHS on phone and maybe digital too if it’s available. If you’re around, hope to work you on the air!
