The New England Weather Net was founded in 1955 with the mission of gathering weather observations from around the greater New England region. The net has operated six days a week (Monday thru Saturday) continuously since that time. This Thursday, November 21, 2019 marks a milestone with session 20,000.
Thank you to all who have participated both in recent years and through out the net’s history. The New England Weather Net remains strong and committed to gathering each morning to share weather data.
Here is the recording from Session #20,000:
Next stop… Session 30,000 in 2051.

Bonus: Here is a recording from Session 10,000 from December 12, 1987:
My dad, Frank Sauter of Orange, MA was a member of the original New England Weather Net that supported Don Kent in 1955.
I recently discovered a 1/4″ magnetic audio tape which was a recording of all of the hams reporting their weather data in the 1950’s.
I contacted Eric Fisher of WBZ and he didn’t seem particularly interested in it. I thought perhaps you fellows and ladies would because I personally think it is historically significant. Please let me know if you are.
We would be interested in it. I will send you an email with my contact information. Jack Caron, W1AYX
