[NOTE: These frequencies/channels are hypothetical at this time. This is not anything official. They are no more than one idea I present as an example. As such, of course it is open to discussion and change. -Todd]

                                         severe weather related events
                                         to NWSO-JAX.

[For purposes of avoiding unwanted attention, suggest use of Channel identifier rather than frequency to be used when in times of actual operations. This is weather related stuff and there are going to be those of the `Twister' generation who are `chaser wannabe's', and who are likely going to eavesdrop on our comms for information that would help them to chase, which would in all liklihood cause more confusion and interference than good if they get in anyone's way. And we wouldn't want that. -Todd]
