Eastern Oklahoma SKYWARN

Any amateur radio SKYWARN repeaters in McAlester and Henryette?

I know they have two Skywarn Repeaters in Preston which is about 20 miles away from Henryetta. On 444.175 with PL 88.5 think it does Fusion. There is also another one they use for Skywarn last I knew is 147.225 PL. As far as McAlester goes there was 3 doing Skywarn at one time. 2 of the Repeaters were in Daisy which is about 30 miles from McAlester they were on 145.21 PL 100.0 and 442.4 PL 114.8. There was also a repeater in McAlester they was using for Skywarn its was on 444.975 with a PL 88.5.

Preston is 30 miles north of Henryette and Daisy 30 miles south of McAlester, and I'm right in the middle. I would likely be the only operator in a 40 miles radius.

The McAlester 444.975 repeater is part of the NE OK SuperLink system that provides reports to the NWS office in Tulsa. The other SKYWARN repeaters generally are more local in focus & used by county EM storm watchers.

Thx, will look into it. But 30 miles UFH would be a stretch when mobile.

I understand the McAlester repeater’s moving to another location north of town so your line of sight distance might improve.
