15 meters was open again this morning, although a bit more noise/QSB than I wish there was. Thank you @on5gq and MIØAIH for the QSOs and new #DX! #HF #hamradio #hamr #K8UA

[K8UA @k8ua_]

Both 10 and 15 meters are all doing well today - thanks OK2SAI Henryk 🇨🇿 and PJ7PL Philip 🇸🇽 for the new #DX! #HF #hamradio #hamr #K8UA

With the new antenna setup, it only took me a month to get another 100 #parks. It's good to be back on the air! Appreciate all the activators out there, can't wait to get back to activating myself again! #POTA #ParksOnTheAir #hamradio #hamr #K8UA

10 meters were pretty favorable in the morning! Thank you Kevin @GW0ADC for a lovely chat and a new #DX! #HF #hamr #K8UA

[K8UA @k8ua_]

The contest may be over, but not the contacts: thanks #5V7RU for a new #DX! #HF #hamr #K8UA

[K8UA @k8ua_]

Not too bad for about 4 hours on the air (mostly yesterday) - the new antenna setup is definitely working! #CQWWSSB #HF #AmateurRadio #hamradio #hamr #K8UA

[K8UA @k8ua_]

So much this!

[HarmlessHAM @harmlesshamCQ]

You can be the champion contester or someone with a super station or got several DXCCs and awards - but you are “Zero “ if you don’t treat other fellow hams with respect and courtesy, including new Hams and YLs

40 meters #HF is really weird tonight: made a few solid contacts with NY, WA and AB, and now listening to LU7YS in 🇦🇷!! #K8UA #HamRadio #hamr #AmateurRadio

[K8UA @k8ua_]

New tilt mount from @DXEngineering keeps my #antenna safe during today's high winds! Definitely an added peace of mind compared to my previous setup🙂 #K8UA #HamRadio #hamr #AmateurRadio #NEwx

[K8UA @k8ua_]

@NWSOmaha I like how remarkably close it is to the forecast published a few days ago!

[K8UA @k8ua_]

@Kn4Mqr I'm almost half-way through Nebraska parks 🙃

[K8UA @k8ua_]

If #SHTF for real, someone please call me - I somehow slept through all this 😆💤 #RIP

[Nebraska State Patrol @NEStatePatrol]

Last night at approximately 11:00 pm CT/10:00 pm MT, the Nebraska State Patrol issued a required monthly test of the Emergency Alert System. The tests are conducted on the third Tuesday of each month and issued by NSP, Nebraska Public Media, and the NEMA on a rotating basis. 1/3

[K8UA @k8ua_]

@omaha_scanner I didn't even wake up somehow 😁

[K8UA @k8ua_]

This was quite an afternoon for sure!

[NWS Storm Prediction Center @NWSSPC]

As of 6:54 PM CST, there have been 249 severe wind reports as well as 13 tornado reports across the Plains as the line of storms rolled through. Damaging winds remain likely (and additional tornadoes possible) this evening ahead of the line within the risk areas.

[K8UA @k8ua_]

Wow! They did increase the severe risk all the way up to moderate! Stay safe everyone!

[NWS Omaha @NWSOmaha]

Severe storms are likely today between 2 PM and 7 PM. The winds will already be very strong, but local bursts of 75-80 mph wind gusts are possible as a line of thunderstorms move through the area this afternoon. The highest tornado risk is in the highlighted area.

[K8UA @k8ua_]

@CMcKayFL Thank you!

[K8UA @k8ua_]

This is going to be an "interesting" afternoon and evening tomorrow for sure! #NEwx #storm

[NWS Omaha @NWSOmaha]

Here are our projections for the timing of the strongest winds tomorrow!

[K8UA @k8ua_]

@omaha_scanner @OmahaPolice @CrimeOpd That's why we need more cameras on the roads (and in public spaces in general).

[K8UA @k8ua_]

Quite an #outbreak going on - very active #weather for December. Please listen to your local meteorologists, have your #WeatherRadio on, and be safe!
