[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2953433, member: 13624"] The best bet is to monitor the local ham repeaters; 2m (144-148 MHz) is probably going to be most active, with 70cm (420-450 MHz) being second. Find out where the local repeaters are (the [URL='http://amzn.to/2l2lTOc']ARRL Repeater Directory[/URL] is a fantastic resource here), and scan through them. Fyrtwuck mentions the weather frequencies (seven channels, starting at 162.400 MHz; you should always be able to find one, and sometimes two or three, depending upon topography; listen to the closest one); they're good for a general overview, but are not updated in real time, so you won't get "tornado on the ground at Luther" or anything immediately useful like that. Still very good for keeping abreast of general conditions, finding out where the watches and warnings are and when they end, etc. [/QUOTE]
