Re: [IRCA] Fort Lewis-1500 (WA) Flips to NOAA Weather

That is a shame. I thought the TIS covering the base with info on Ft. Lewis was unique. Now just another NOAA station.  Thanks for passing this along. I remember the guy I talked to when I phoned them, did not know if they were allowed to QSL. But the superior said that was okay. I like those unique QSL'd. I got a lot of them.

> For those who may have interest in Washington state TIS stations, on the return trip from Grayland on November 8th I made the usual I-5 transit of the Fort Lewis (now JBLM, or "Joint Base Lewis McChord) army base and noticed that the low-powered 1500 kHz TIS station was no longer broadcasting any messages related to the army base itself. It was relaying NOAA weather reports for the western Washington state area, similar to what the 1610-Aberdeen TIS station relays (or did relay). I don't know if this change has been reported previously, but the station has been heard outside of Washington state, including by Patrick in Seaside, OR (who showed me a QSL letter that he received from the army base).
