Addendum from WDR (N1VUX) --

The session held the past two summers in Boston will not
be held this year, to spread it better geographically.
These two will be the closest sessions to Boston, but others
will be to the north and south and west.

Further training sessions around southern New England (in the
Taunton FO Forecast Area) can be found at the EMA Skywarn homepage
