Re: [IRCA] 1640 unID - TIS possibly from Ohio

[Chernos Saul <sauldx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There's a whole whack of stations in PA on 1640, many of them in sync with one-another. I've had echo effects on some TIS/HARs in the X-Band. For some HARs I picture micro stations all along a highway, with NOAA there could be repeaters in multiple communities, without any real way to know from afar if you're hearing, say, Clearfield, or, say, Altoona.

What I'm hoping to discern from my audio clip is any call letters eras better than mine can make out. Even if I manage call letters, though, pinpointing an actual location isn't guaranteed. Nor do I require that for my own logs. I go with whatever information is available and possible. If that means the QTH goes down as Synchro, so be it. There are more Synchros in my logbook than Springfields ;-)

Wow, thats quite the vast forecast area. There is 1 640 in Clearfield, Harrisburg and philly... so sounds to me like it's all a network, with forecasts for the entire "network".

I'll have to check and see if I can hear Clearfield's 1640 from here.. im about 45 minutes NW of it.

I sat on 1640 for quite a while last night.  The dominant station was an

NWS station "Total Weather Radio" that rose up to audibility every so often

with temps for various Pennsylvania locations, like Philadelphia and

Clearfield ... so could have been anywhere in the state.  No call letters

noted, just the slogan.  There may have been a second station in the mix,

because I heard three tones to mark the start of a new loop, but no idea

who that was.  Jim Renfrew, Holley NY
