Re: [IRCA] NOAA weather radio information

Art,

That's a good reference web site, if not taken too literally as you 
note.  In addition to the anomalies you mention, even different parts 
of the site don't always agree.  My particular NWR station, KEC50 in 
Palm Beach county, is listed at 1kW in the counties section but at 
500W in the Marine section.  Based on the better reception I get from 
the Miami station KHB34, I tend to think the Marine listing is likely 
the correct one.
