During the 8th annual event, operations from NWS Melbourne consisted of two High Frequency (HF) stations and multiple Very High Frequency (VHF) and digital stations. The event began at 7 pm Friday December 1 and lasted until 7 pm Saturday December 2. Amateur Radio (Ham) operators participated from three active SKYWARN groups within East Central Florida: Brevard County Emergency Amateur Radio Services, Inc. (BEARS), The Platinum Coast Amateur Radio Society (PCARS) and the Treasure Coast Weather Net (TCWN). Several licensed NWS Melbourne meteorologists (East Central Florida SKYWARN Group) also assisted during the event. The NWS Melbourne East Central Florida SKYWARN Group callsign WX4MLB was used.

Thank you to all the BEARS, PCARS, and TCWN members who contributed to another very successful and enjoyable event, and to those stations who participated in the SKYWARN Recognition Day event and also those who support SKYWARN operations throughout the year.
