Blackwell / Kay County Spotter Locations

The Oklahoma Independent Amateur Radio Club, Inc. (O.I.D.A.R.) and the Kay County Amateur Radio Club, Inc. have teamed up to try something new back in 2005. One of those is to use APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System) to show the EOC (Emergency Operations Center) where the spotters are actually located during severe weather events. For Information about APRS, please visit here. Below you will find links to several of the Blackwell and Kay County storm spotters.

Map with all spotters showing!

Remember, this is experimental equipment. These maps are not 100%. If equipment fails, or operators forget to turn them on or even off, they may not show exactly units are located.

One more note... if the units above say "unknown position/call" and we haven't had rain or storms in a while or the tracker unit is turned off, that will explain why the server can't find the unit.
