Certified Metro SkyWarn Spotter and Amateur Storm Chaser here. Been chasing storms since I was a kid on my bicycle! Owned my first Weather Radio in 1971, (taped to the handlebars of my bicycle) bought my first Weather Alert Radio in 1982. Used an AM radio (off frequency) to "listen" for lightning since 1969; now I use Boltek's "StormTracker" instead. SkyWarn Repeaters for Twin Cities Metro Area, in Minnesota are:
