Re: [IRCA] NOAA weather radio information



Mike (and others interested),

        Detailed info about NOAA transmitters can be found on their web
site:
www.weather.gov/nwr . For instance, the page /CntyCov/nwrCA   yields a
list for California showing county, the county "SAME" code, transmitter
location, freq, call, and transmitter power.  The listed transmitter
location is not precise.  162.425 is on Mt. Diablo but is listed as
"Contra Costa County."  162.550 Monterey and 162.450 Monterey Marine are
on Mt. Umunhum, 162.400 San Francisco is on Mt. Pise in San Mateo County,
and 162.500 San Francisco is on Big Rock Ridge in Marin County.  The
preceding more exact locations were gleaned from on-air monitoring of the
IDs.
