It is an alert for the hams to be aware of decaying weather andthe need to participate with an actual skywarn net, you should chooseonly the coverage areas your users will need (I am snickering at this)and have only those alerts come thru the same radio interface which willbe made of some audio mixing circuits and an op amp to detect theinbound audio to the controller and
 make a second cas signal for thecontroller to interpret thru a diode. If you make the mixer circuitusing the scope it will seems like just another user.Mike wrote:> > I talked to the ARRL regulatory department and inquired about doing this.> They told me that it was illegal because the alert is sent from outside the> amateur service.

No rule change...just missinformation.
The following is Part 97.113 (e) Prohibited Transmissions
(e) No station shall retransmit programs or signals emanating from any type of radio station other than an amateur station, except propagation and weather forecast information intended for use by the general public and originated from United States Government stations and communications, including incidental music, originating on United States Government frequencies between a space shuttle and its associated Earth stations. Prior approval for shuttle retransmissions must be obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Such retransmissions must be for the exclusive use of amateur operators. Propagation, weather forecasts, and shuttle retransmissions may not be conducted on a regular basis, but only occasionally, as an incident of normal amateur radio communications. Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
