Maps and frequencies for Skywarn are is in this section for our areas frequented.\u00a0 Selected HF info is enclosed for long distance communicating and news.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 5 is our NOAA \/ NWS information.\u00a0 Included is a copy of my NWS Storm Spotter certificate, maps of NWS offices nation-wide, NOAA\/NWS frequencies, and S.A.M.E. codes for our area of operations.\u00a0 NWS Windchill and Heat Index, and other weather related info.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 6 is our CB and SSB info.\u00a0 Included is a channel description of the CB\/SSB and Freeband\/SSB frequencies, Prepper, and Militia frequencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 7 is for Shortwave (AM\/SSB) and Pirate (SW\/AM\/FM\/SSB) along with charts for band information and their characteristics.\u00a0 A list of world-wide stations is included.\u00a0 Information on selected Pirate Shortwave stations is also enclosed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 8 contains information on TV channels for home\/farm and our Remote Camp, and info for Air, Maritime, MURS, and FRS-GMSS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 9 is our scanner bank information and contains a host of local info for our local and remote  areas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 10 is for Time Conversions, a copy of the current Sky and telescope Skywatch magazine, selected astronomy sky maps, and 12-months of Moon phase, sunrise, and sunset charts.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Section 11 is Maps.\u00a0 A map of each county or parish surrounding our home and remote areas is included to complement our Garmin and GMC Intellilink systems.\u00a0 State maps are included in case we have to relocate or travel out of state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The final section, Section 12 is for Miscellaneous information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A channel list for Sirius\/XM has not been included due to the often changing programs and channels. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following pages are the current index of documents we keep on-hand.&nbsp;
