The Weather Hams Net
By: Mallory
In Mr. Schwan's class we, the fifth graders had an amazing experience talking to different people around the world by radio and copying their weather. The participants in this radio chat are Mr. Schwan and us, his class, other amateur radio operators, and even some old students stopped by to chat. What we did was we told weather, recorded weather, talked about weather, and we had one session to talk about something different than weather. We did all of these things for six weeks, from September 2nd to October 16th, 2008. For the whole time we did these things in Mr. Schwan's fifth grade classroom at St. Michael Lutheran School in Ft. Myers, FL. We did this project to learn about weather, and what weather is like in different areas. Also it taught us more about being an amateur radio operator and how the radios work. We did all of these things using technology. If we didn't have radios and Mr. Schwan's other equipment we would not be able to talk or communicate with other amateur operators. All this was important in our experience with amateur radio operating.
