NOAA Weather Radio Channels
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
of the
U.S. Department of Commerce
is responsible for the NOAA Weather
Radio Service. The radio service
provides continuous broadcasts
of the
latest weather information from the
National Weather Service. The
weather messages are repeated every
four
to six minutes and are revised
every one
to three hours, or as
weather conditions dictate. During
severe weather conditions the normal
taped forecasts are interrupted
to
provide special warnings and adviso-
ries. The majority of the stations
operate on a 24 hour basis.
NOTE: These weather broadcasts are
not tailored specifically for pilots but
can serve to give a general idea of the
local weather picture. These broad-
casts do not delete the requirement
to
get current aviation weather from a
Flight Service Station or other
professional aviation weather service.
Since reception is limited to line
of sight of the antenna, range of the
signal is usually less than 40 miles
from the antenna site if the receiver is
on the ground. Although the effective
range of the receiver will be increased
in flight due
to increased height of the
KX 99 antenna, it is quite likely that
multiple stations may be received
simultaneously.
