The 2019 Severe Weather Expo at Battlefield Mall in Springfield, Missouri on Saturday, March 2nd was a huge success. A chilly early March day with snow on the way invited hundreds of people into the warm shopping center where several booths representing local media, storm damage recovery businesses, the National Weather Service, and Southwest Missouri Regional Skywarn were on display. Thank you to all who stopped by our booth and said hello. It is remarkable how many non-hams out there listen to the 145.49 and the rest of the Southwest Missouri Regional Skywarn Repeater Network during severe weather either via scanners or our live online Broadcastify feed!
Below are a few photos of the expo. Enjoy…
